I hope you enjoyed the essay about Multiples. In a final response to Malcolm Gladwell's essay, please reconsider the 3 anecdotes throughout the essay: Myhrvold and Jack Horner / Bell and Gray / Myhrvold and Intellectual Ventures (I. V.). On this week's blog, tie these three anecdotes together into one unified summary about the essay. I will review the best summaries in class next week in preparation for your demonstrations.
I'm looking forward to reading. Please remember to include your name and ID in your post and please submit it by Sunday night. Aj. M

ReplyDelete"Multiple"
There are many examples of the men who have a powerful inspiration. From these three stories, we can percieve them the inspiration which are from their succesful lives. We can learn that because they never gave up and braved to research something new and also strongly followed their dreams, they became the most popular persons and made many unbelieveable activities or many famous inventions. Moreover, although they were not genius, their inspiration could push them to across their limited lines and helped to achieve their goals. Unfortunately, sometimes everything was not likely what they want it to be because many problems occured, but they all had hopefully to compete and to confront the mistakes. They took their all abilities and attended harder to solve the problems, so they could eliminate them. To sum up, these are some examples of the inspiration which are from the incredible men. You can use their inspiration as your prototype to make your life better. Also you have to find your own inspiration and live in that way.
This paragraph is far too vague to be an acceptable summary of the essay. You'll need to be clearer and closer to the text in the future.

ReplyDeleteIn everyday life, we have to do a lot of things such as taking a bath, eating, and talking. All of these things must use several technologies and inventions to help us to spend our life easier. Recently, these inventions are developed continuously until we do not know the first form which were produced or discovered. Moreover, we do not know who was originator. Who was the telephone’s inventor? Telephone was discovered by Elisha Gray, but it is not only Elisha Gray. In fact, Alexander Graham Bell is another guy who discovered the telephone. Both guys created the telephone in the same period, and they went to make telephones with their company on the same day. This is related to meaning of “multiple” which can identify that something was discovered by 2 or more people who almost discovered at the same time or the same period. Another example which can relate to this meaning is a discovery of dinosaur bones which were found by Nathan Myhrvold and Jack Horner. They met on the set of the “Jurassic Park”, and both guys were interested in funding dinosaur expeditions. Thus, they helped to find the dinosaur bones. They finally could find 27 T. rex specimens. This connects to the multiple which is like both guys who worked together so as to find the dinosaur bones. This phenomenon was discovered simultaneously. The third one is about Nathan Myhrvold and Intellectual Ventures. Intellectual Ventures was formed by Nathan Myhrvold. He employed a lot of clever people such as Bill Gates, whose company Microsoft. He hired those people in order to come up with ideas, and patent them because they had different ideas which can discover a lot of things. However, the more people, the more several ideas. Someone think that way, and another one think another way. It is wasteful when they will produce something. This point is similar to the second, but the difference is a number of inventors.

The word multiples is a very meaningful word. It is not only the occurrence of simultaneous discoveries, but also shows that ideas are already there waiting for someone to discover. To start with, Jack Horner and Nathan Myhrvold show that it is not that hard to find the dinosaur bones, but people did not seek hard enough. The bones and ideas are somewhat similar. Both of them are waiting to be found. Intellectual Ventures, which hire a group of brainy people to brainstorm, can invent as much as five hundred ideas per year. If people work hard enough and cooperate with each other, they can discover many more things. However, most people did not want to spend their times in doing that. Moreover, the anecdote of invention of telephone by Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray at the same time also proves this theory. If Bell did not invent the telephone, Gray or other person will invent it. This shows that they are not geniuses, but they were just working harder than other people.

ReplyDeleteMultiples synthesis
Were the geniuses who invented the most phenomenal inventions and all those intellectual people who have made the most amazing discoveries of all times are actually geniuses or amazing people after all? Or is it just a few hard-working normal people? And were those people were the only one who can came up with great new ideas that changed the world? Or is it already in the air?
Well, many people recognized Alexander Graham Bell as the inventor of the telephone, but in fact, there was another person who also came up with the same idea, with the similar invention and at the same time, Elisha Grey is the name. If Bell failed to invent the telephone, this man, Grey, would have been the recognized inventor. Or even though both Bell and Grey didn’t invent the phone, somebody else would anyway. So as the likes of Jack Horner and Nathan Myhrvold, these two together discovered more T-Rex specimens in 9 years, than the whole world who only managed to find 18 in 90 years. Were they geniuses? No, not really, they just worked harder. And again, if it wasn’t these two who has made an epic discovery, somebody else would have. It is inevitable. Someone at some time would have grabbed the idea from the air. But later, Myhrvold believe that insights can be created and had proven that it can, by setting up his own firm, the intellectual ventures. He was inspired by the Alexander Graham bell and the Grand River story. He and his smart or work-hard specialists export ideas to solve the world major problems, for example cancer treatments and power generators. Mayhrvold and his employees worked hard to come up with 500 ideas a year, and again, if it wasn’t the intellectual ventures that came up with ideas that can change or can solve something, it would have been somebody else who will manage to do it anyway. These are the concept of multiples, anyone can come up with the same amazing ideas simultaneously or at the same time, we just have to work harder to create something special.
ERS Section 3 ID:5480642
ReplyDeleteMost people think whoever invents or discovers the new ideas is a genius. In fact, they are not geniuses they just started it first and work hard enough to generate many new ideas. Above all are the concept of multiples.
Both Bell and Gray invented the telephone, but Bell present and patented his idea first so we recognized him as an inventor of telephone even though Gray also there. Gray is another one who invented the telephone,so if Bell did not invented the telephone, Gray would invented it. Similarly to Horner and Myhrvold who formed a team together to discover dinosaur bones. They worked harder than others so they found a truckloads of dinosaurs bones. However, if others tried harder, they also could discover them as much as Horner and Myhrvold did because dinosaurs bones had been under the Earth waiting for someone to dig them. Also, Myhrvold and his company called Intellectual Ventures. Bill Gate is one of the investor. They brainstorm ideas together on how to make nuclear power safer and useable and on the cancer problems. Even though they are ignored these, others can also do. These are the example of multiples, even if we have no these people but we still have a number of new inventions because someone else would do it.
This is good, but the definition of "multiples" is incomplete. This needs to be better described.

ReplyDeleteMany researchers cannot find something that they want because they did not work hard enough. But, it is far from the fantastic lives of Jack Horner and Nathan Myhrvold. Jack and Nathan are the group of people who worked hard in their field. At least, they found the special award those are the bones which were found more than in the past. Sometimes, something that found by someone is not only once, but also another one can find too. In the case of Alexander Graham Bell, he was the telephone creator who inspired from a tree fall down, but Elisha Gray also the one who created telephone too. From these two cases, we can see that they are genius. Moreover, there is a company, which was established by Nathan Myhrvold, that collects many intelligent people together to brainstorming many new ideas and solving many different problems, and then they make a license about their innovation. They might classify like a genius, not because of their intelligence, but they are diligent. In other words, genius is always working.
ERS section 6 ID 5480661
ReplyDeleteNormaly people thought genius is genius. People did not realize that all the genius once is the ordinary people at that time, however the only different is that all the genius accidentally find the idea.
The concept of "multiples" is that many people invent the same thing at the same time in different location. This situation happened because people have the same previous idea, therefore the people in the next generation developed and discover the same new idea.
Ideas can be found in everywhere and every time depend on luck of the individual. Most of the time the ideas accidentally be found out of nowhere. Therefore everyone could have the idea, however the one who is the first person that actually take action is the one the whole world called 'Genius'. Therefore everyone could be genius.
For example, Bell and Grey both discover the telephone, however Bell is the one who take action first, therefore the whole world recognize Bell as the genius and the first one who invent telephone.
Many people underestimate themselves that they are just the ordinary people unlike all of the genius.However ordinary people who have the idea could be genius.
This is ok, but this sentence is odd: "Ideas can be found in everywhere and every time depend on luck of the individual." This essay is clear that "luck" has nothing to do with it. Be careful not to say something that's not there.

There had been many voices talking about the concept of innovations. Some people believed that inventions were in the air. For instance, T-rex bones had always been out there; just that we didn't look hard enough or else Myhrvold and Horner wouldn't be able to find such huge number of T-rex skeletons. Bell and Gray were both working on the telephone and, surprisingly, at the same time but different places. Intellectual Ventures, formed by Myhrvold, a group of smart pants, created insights and came up with an enormous quantity of ideas. Nevertheless, at least one of them, was being pursued by another company as well. These anecdotes demonstrated the statement saying innovations were in the air. As is seen, same prototypes were picked up by different people at the corresponding time. Thus, those ideas could actually be in the air and these flying concepts contributed to simultaneous discoveries called multiples.
This is a very tight and dense paragraph. It would be important to explain just a little the thought that "inventions were in the air." This would not be clear to anyone what you mean by this. Otherwise, I'm impressed with the very careful and well-worded sentencing here. Good writing.
DeleteERS section 6 ID- 5480601 The idea that two or more people at a different time and place can invent the same thing or something similar is called 'multiples'. This might sounds strange, but multiples are common. Scientific discoveries are just in the air, it is inevitable. The first example would be the story of Nathan Myhrvold and Jack Horner. If Nathan and Jack didn't look hard enough for the dinosaur bones, eventually someone else would be able to find those dinosaur bones. Those bones are out there, just waiting to be found. The next example is about the inventions of the telephone, which was invented by Bell. Bell went to the Philadephia exhibition to present his new invention but, Gray was also there, presenting a similar invention. If Bell hadn't licensed his invention first, Gray would have been the first to invent the telephone. Someone had lay down the foundations which leads Bell and Gray to the discovery of telephone. The last example is about Myhrvold and his company, the Intellectual Ventures. This company shows that people from different backgrounds or field could come up with new insights or ideas.
ReplyDeletePeople are tried to explore something which the basic work has already done by people in the past and when they succeed, they realize that other people are doing the same thing! that is the main concept of ‘Multiples’
ReplyDeleteLet’s look at Jack Horner and Nathan Myhrvold . they has performed a team to investigated the
dinosaur bones but they couldn’t find it at the first because they didn’t look hard enough .Finally, after they has put more intention, they has found truckloads of dinosaur bones . This is shows that if Horner and Myhrvold didn’t discovered about the dinosaur stuff other would .Now, move on to Bell and Gray, they are invented the similar thing but Bell has patented before Gray therefore,he is the father of telephone. So, the point is who is the first registered will be named as a creator.Lastly,Myrvold has gathered all the physicians experts in his company to contemplate and sold the ideas.After all, the had solved the problem which the medical professional cannot gave the answer.So,this is kind of mixed between inspiration and multiples . Like, Myrvold had an ideas of calling all the physicians to come and solve the medical problem instead of calling the doctors,so this is a style of creative thinking of Myrvold. to make something which people think that it will not existed Also, i said it’s a term of multiples because the idaes was came from the physician those are from different places but they can make a same clue.

ReplyDeleteFossils and ideas share the same characteristic which is they exist everywhere, but people do not try hard enough to obtain those things. For some inventions like telephone; 2 different people from different places discovered exactly the same thing. To illustrate, if Alexander Graham Bell could not invent a telephone, Elisha Gray would be the one who discovered it. Furthermore, it is possible to generate ideas, and it will be more effective if many people do it together. For instance, after Myhrvold left Microsoft, he established a company called Intellectual Ventures; a company hired many experts from many fields and formed a lot of meeting to generate many ideas and sold it. All in all, ideas of multiples are about simultaneous discovery, generating insights and trying hard to look for ideas which can be found in anywhere.
Section3 ID: 5480691
ReplyDeleteMultiples mean simultaneous discovery, which those three stories stated the different ways of how it happened. First of all, “Ideas are in the air” this statement emplies that concepts are everywhere, but if people do not pay attention to things around them enough, they will discover nothing. The method that the writer explain to readers is to tell them via anecdote of T-rex bones discovery. Second of all, “theory can be found in the same time” the next chapter mention about the discovery of telephone. Nonetheless, if Bell was not discover telephone connection, some days there could be any one found it. Furthermore, it can be discerned in the various ways which base on the first chapter “ideas are in the air” and it depends on means that they catch it. Last of all, when many genius gathered together, and they did brain storming, numerous ideas were creating. That situation was happening and it refers to the first and the second part of the story which present that “the ideas are in the air and it was found at the same time”
Section 3 ID:5480654
ReplyDeleteDifferent people at different places having similar or same idea at same time is called multiple the concept of multiples is very common among us. Here are few example of multiples Nathan Myhrovold and Jack Horner met on the set of the “Jurassic Park” sequel in 1996. Myhrvold was there because he really likes dinosaurs and Horner asked Myhrvold if he was interested in funding dinosaur expeditions and worked as a team they found truckload of dinosaurs and one day Nathan was walking with Jack and his son. Then Jack saw a bone in the side of the hill and they saw a jawbone of T.rex skull and then they realize that they dint look hard enough.
Alexander Graham Bell was employed as a speech therapist in Boston. But his real interest was solving the puzzle of what he then called the “harmonic telegraph.” He often stayed up all night when he was in the grip of an idea. He worked with Mr. Watson and they had a theory that Electric currents could convey sound along a wire if they undulated in accordance with the sound waves and once always prone to clumsiness he spilled acid on his clothes and cried out. Watson came running but only because he had heard Bell on the receiver, plain as day. The telephone was born.
Nathan Myhrvold left Microsoft and struck out on his own, he set himself an unusual goal. He wanted to see whether the kind of insight that leads to invention could be engineered. He formed a company called Intellectual Ventures. He raised hundreds of millions of dollars. He hired the smartest people he knew. Myhrvold wanted to make insights to come up with ideas, patent them, and then license them to interested companies.
This is very detailed... maybe too detailed. I'd suggest that just bringing together the main point of each story together to show the reader how they are examples of multiples would make this more concise. That said, this is well written and would be an acceptable summary.

ReplyDeleteMany innovations are so amazing that we think the innovators must be super smart and special but the fact is it does not have to be genius to innovate things. For example, Nathan Myhrvold who interested in dinosaurs, and Jack Horner with their team find more T-rex bones in a sort time than others had found within nighty years. This is because they had worked very hard and if anyone work as hard as these people they would have found as many as them. Other example would be the two telephone's innovators Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Grey who had discovered telephone at about the same time and went to Philadelphia exhibition to present their own invention in the same day. Unfortunately Bell patented his first so he was recognized as the telephone's innovator. In the other hand it would have been Gray who was recognized as the telephone's innovator if he had represented it first and if these two people did not discover it then someone else would. This is the concept of 'Multiples' which means different people from different places discovered same thing at about the same time not because they are very smart but they had known the similar ideas that had been there already and they just took the next step from these ideas.The other example is the company that founded by Myhrvold. In the company he hired a lot of smart people to brainstorm for new ideas and sell them. Bill Gates came to his company to brainstorm ideas about how to make nuclear power safer and useable. They also worked on problems like cancer, and with experts from different fields.

ReplyDeleteWhenever people think their ideas of innovation are extraordinary and unique from everyone else’, there are always other people who think about the same innovations as theirs. In other words, ideas can be simultaneously thought and discovered by different people. Two or more people could come up with the same ideas of innovation at the same time in different places. Just like how the telephone was discovered. Bell wasn’t the only one who discovered telephone; however, Gray did too about the same time as Bell. This is what we call “multiples”. The concept of “multiples” does not only mean same ideas could be simultaneously discovered by more than one person; nevertheless, ideas are in the air and it’s waiting for someone to be discovered. An example of this is the anecdote of Myhrvold and Horner. They found truckloads of T-Rex bones as they said that people weren’t trying hard enough to find the bones in the past. New ideas of innovation could also come from getting different ideas from different people like Myhrvold’s company, Intellectual Ventures. The company gathers different people from different fields and brainstorm together. Fresh ideas could be discovered. However, some of the ideas I.V. came up with were already discovered by other people. Consequently, ideas are out there to be discovered and most of the time, those ideas are thought and discovered by other people as well. That’s what the term “Multiples” is about.

ReplyDelete‘Multiples’ could be one of the polysemy words. However, in this case it means an occurrence of something in the same time, or else, during the same interval by different people, according to Ogburn and Thomas (2008). To begin with dinosaurs, there were many people tried to search for the dinosaurs’ bones. Once they couldn’t find any bones, they stopped searching and thought that the bones were too rare to be discovered. Nonetheless, after Nathan Myhrvold and Jack Horner form the expenditure team to find dinosaurs’ bones, they found tons of bones. They had even found more than the world’s expenditure had. Another example of multiple ideas is about telephone; Alexander Graham Bell just accidentally came across the telephone, meanwhile, Elisha Gray was also the one who invented telephone. This could easily say that if Bell didn’t go to Grand River, he wouldn’t be the one who invented the telephone; and if Bell didn’t invent telephone, surely Gray would have. The last example of multiple is also about Nathan Myhrvold. He established the Intellectual Ventures (also known as I.V.). The Intellectual Ventures Company convened people from different field of knowledge and then started thinking and brainstorming about new technologies, and inventions. This is also included in the term of multiple because many people can think about the same things at the same time. If these people can’t think of these ideas, someone else will come up with these ideas afterwards, as Ogburn and Thomas (2008) said, ‘ideas are in the air’.

ReplyDeletePeople usually think that inventions or discoveries in our world must be found by a genius. We usually amazed about how those people in the past discovered many things. However, many invention such as telephone was not discovered by one person. Sometime one thing can be invented by 2 or more people at about the same time but different place. This is called multiples. For example, if either Bell or Gray did not invented a telephone someone else will. As many new things are being introduce to the world, the later generation of inventors use the information that already been present in the past in order to take themselves forward to new steps. According to Gladwell, to be a great inventor doesn't means that you have to be a super smart person with a supreme and create thoughts. Ideas are in the air. No matter who you are, where you live, you will have a similar idea to some people who might live on the other side of the world. To extend ideas are everywhere, idea sometime be right in front of you and waiting for you or somebody else to discover it. To illustrate, Myhrvold and Horner discovered many dinosaur bones. They found a huge number of bones in a short period of time while some people in the past did not even notice it. In fact, Myhrvold and Horner found nine T.rex bones in less than nine years while other people found eighteen T.rex bones in ninety years. So these are some examples and concept of multiples.
This is almost perfect, but the synthesis is incomplete with out all of the anecdotes.

ReplyDeleteIn this world, it doesn't always take a genius to invent or discover new inventions, ideas, or ancient objects. Nathan Myhrvold and Jack Horner's discovery of dinosaur bones was not coincident or was not because they were geniuses but because they were passionate in what they were doing and because they were looking hard enough. Nathan Myhrvold also formed a group called " intellectual Ventures." The group, contained of geniuses, has come up with many theories and ideas that could sell to other company to develop. Alexander Bell and Elisha Gray invented telephone about the same time, however, Bell was the first one to publish it first. The invention of telephone is not as complicated as people think but it is because Bell and Gray were passionate about it. In conclusion, dinosaur bones were not rare to discover, telephone was not hard to invent, and idea of brainstorming was not hard to do. People just have to work hard enough to accomplish what they are passionate about or what they want to succeed. If Nathan and Jack weren't the one who found dinosaur bones then someone else probably would have or if Bell was not the inventor of the telephone then Gray would have or if Nathan wasn't the one who created I.V. and other ideas then someone else probably would have. The idea of 'brainstorming' is very simple, people just have to be the first one to do it if they want to succeed. If there is a basic idea of everything, people need to do better or think harder to take these ideas higher.
Section3 5480678 (Oak)
ReplyDeleteThe three stories about the founder shows that human can success in anything they interested in, and the new idea of everything is in the air and can be found in many ways, and also the meaning of multiple. For example, the first stories show us about people who can found a lot of T.rex bones because he tries hard and he has never pushed their fault to another. Moreover, the second stories told us about if people try hard enough, they could success in their goal such as Elisha Gray. Elisha Gray has not been recorded in the history of the telephone founder because Bell is the first founder who shown it to the society. It seems like the idea of new thing did not base on only one way, so if people try hard enough, they could achieve their goal. Then, multiples means people had alternative way to create new idea and it is not force in the genius that can be found the new thing such as Elisha Gray who is not a genius but he found the idea of telephone.

ReplyDelete“Multiples” simply means that one or a similar idea is being developed by different people at different places but at the same time.
These three anecdotes have many things in common. Their main message was to make people realize that nothing can be achieved without perseverance. They beautifully explained the meaning of multiples, which in short, means that if you don’t work hard enough to achieve something, someone else will achieve it. Whether it is looking for dinosaur bones, inventing new things or finding solution to diseases, all requires innovation, determination and hard work.
Ideas are in the air, for example if Graham Bell didn’t invent telephone then someone else would’ve done that. It basically means that we shouldn’t give up until we reach our goal.
"It basically means that we shouldn't give up until we reach our goal." Do you really think this is the basic meaning of this essay? I don't agree with this assessment. What do you think?
DeleteWhen we think of the word "multiples", I'm sure that most of the us might think of the complication and coincident. But It is not at all. When the different people discover or invent something for almost the same time. It shows us that people are the same. We all study and learn the same fact and information. But the thing that makes them different from each other is how do they use that fact and information.
ReplyDeleteIn the past, people thought that finding a dinosaur bones was rare. It needs luck to find one. But Nathan Myhrvold and Jack Horner has shown us that they didn't need any luck. They just looked hard and read a lot of researches and they did found a lot of bones. All they need was just a patient and effort. Nathan also gathered the geniuses of all around the world to from a group called "Intellectual Ventures". All they have do is just gathered the information to come up with a new ideas. They sell their ideas to a big company to develop and they earned a lot of money. Alexander Bell and Elisha Gray also invented telephone for almost the same time. Although, they didn't each other and haven't met for once. But however, they have discovered the same thing for almost same time. This shows us that people were studying the same information.
In conclusion, people don't have to be smart or genius to become successful in life. Nowadays, people don't really know what are they capable of. Therefore, we have to work hard in everything we do, try our best in everything we can and we will see how close our goals are.

ReplyDeleteThe ideas of the word 'multiples' is a discoveries and inventions that indepentdenly made by many peoples at about the same time. People in the same generation happened to have a same ideas among themself so this is one of the reason of the multiples pheonomenon. For example, Alexander Bell invented a telephone at about the same time as Elisha Gray. These two guys doesn't know each other but how did they have the same technology. This is because they might have the same ideas before invented the telophone. However, Nathan Myhrvold and Jack Horner are both interested in a dinosaur bones but they have heard the dinosaur bones are very rare. Myhrvold and Horner form up a team to seach for a dinosaur bone they happened to find a truck load of bones. Which is the opposite side of what they have heard that they are very rare so it means that other people weren't looking for the bones hard enough. Myhrvold also form a group of people that assemble all the genius called I.V. (Intellectual Ventures). These guys are there to brainstorms as much ideas as possible to licensed it and sell the ideas that other firms could use to develop their firm. In counclusion, if you think you are the first to discovered or invented something there might be someone from the other part of the world might have discovered at the same time as you or before you. If Gray and Bell hasn't invented telephone then someone else would have invent it.
Ok... be careful of some of the language in here: "Nathan Myhrvold and Jack Horner are both interested in a dinosaur bones but they have heard the dinosaur bones are very rare." (Horner is a paleontologist... he studies dinosaur... he didn't hear that.) "they happened to find a truck load of bones" (No... they found "truckloads"... this is a very different meaning.)
DeleteGood summary, but be careful about your wording that could change the meaning drastically.
The word "multiples" simply means a scientific discovery of a certain object in a simultaneous time.
ReplyDeleteThe three Anecdotes clearly explain that no matter how hard you look for something or concentrate all of your brain cell to invent something new, another person across the globe or even right next door to you could have been thinking exactly the same thing as you. Nathan Myhrvold for example shows that he loves dinosaur and it shows that if you look hard enough and know the right areas to search for the bones and after that researches and hard work, their effort has paid out magnificently. He also created a firm called "Intellectual Venture" in which he applied the same concept as the dinosaur bone hunting expedition. He hired the cleverest people he knew and get them to come up with new idea where he then licensed the ideas and sell them to clients to earn a huge sum of money. Alexander Bell shows clear fondness towards the Harmonic telegraph and thus leads him to invent one of our greatest invention of all time, the telephone. However Elisha Grey at the exact time period have discovered the telephone as well. Which shows you that if Bell haven't invented the telephone, Elisha Grey would have.
To conclude, what the three anecdote is trying to say is that everybody can discover, invent and create new things. Only if you have the love and determination enough to get your ass to do it, you can achieve your goal.
This is a clever synthesis of the three stories... but in an academic paper, the final statement may let it down. What do you think?

ReplyDeleteMultiples, a phenomenon of simultaneous discovery, aren't rare and had occurred throughout human history. The telephone discovery, for example, had been simultaneously invented by Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray - luckily Bell had patented his invention first. Moreover, the phenomenon expands, as one discovery leads to another and as one discovery lays foundation for another. Which this telephone discovery had led Nathan Myhrvold to start his company - Intellectual Ventures - due to his inspiration of Grand River incident where Bell's innovation hits. This company of his hired many clever people from many fields to create ideas/insights and sell it to interested company - at the same time trying to reconstruct the Grand River Incident. Intellectual Ventures had been a huge success and some of their ideas had already been worked on by someone else already (multiples!!). Myhrvold and his company had proved that insights can be created, in addition to that, from his and Jack Horner epic dinosaur discovery where they dominated the T.rex discovery in mere 9 years which other would have took more than half century to find; proved that ideas, like dinosaur bones, aren't rare, it is just a matter of efforts and spirits. This means inventor aren't genius or on a different perspective we could say hard workers are genius!
Did Myhrvold start his company because of Bell's incident at the Grand River? This is misleading.

ReplyDeleteMultiple is to find different ideas of people in the different places at the same time. This story shows that it is not hard to have the same idea. To demonstrate, first of all, Nathan Myhrvold and Jack Horner discovered tons of bones of dinosaurs. Furthermore, inventing telephone is also one of multiple instances. Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. At the same time, Elisha Gray also created it, and they presented it in the same day. The last multiple example is the company that established by Myhrvold. He employed many clever people to make and share new ideas. Bill Gates had thought about making secured nuclear power, and the experts searched it as well. All of the above are just examples of multiple that present it is not too difficult to they would find the inventions.

ReplyDeleteAccording to Malcolm Gladwell’s, multiples means one thing invented about the same time, but from different people and places. Bell discovered telephone by accident. During an experiment with the telephone prototype, he called Watson who is in the other room. Suddenly, Watson heard his voice through the telephone. Later on, Bell went to present his telephone at the Philadelphia exhibition. In this event, Gray also presenting a similar invention. This showed that if someone didn’t invent or patent that thing at that time, then sooner or later someone else will discover it by looking at the background information. Gladwell also mentioned about Intellectual Ventures (I.V.) which is a company. Nathan Myhrvold started a company with all the smart people in the country gather together to make insights. There were no rules for brainstorming. However, they did fail with some of the ideas. They realize that it is possible to create insights. Myhrvold also agrees to fund the expedition when Jack Horner ask him at the set of Jurassic . In nine years, Myhrvold and Horner find more bones in a shorter time compare with the world record in ninety years. According to Myhrold, people didn’t try their best in finding dinosaur bones because they think it was not much out there. Therefore, nothing is impossible to happen.
So what... needs synthesis... how do these thre stories relate to each other and the idea of multiples. If you can do that, it will be a near perfect summary.

ReplyDeleteFor me, the word "multiples" from the book means trying to explore something, but some of works or mysteries are already discovered by genius people at the long time ago. After that, people who work at this in the present just realize that the works had been explored before. There are three examples that clearly explain about this.
The first one is creating of telephone. It had been invented by Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray. The two people never knew each other before, but they might have idea to create something that can comunnicate conviniently. Next one, Nathan Myhrvold and Jack Horner accompanied together to search dinosaur bones. At first, they could not find because they did not look hard enough. They searched once again within puting lot of intention and eventually discovered it. If they give up this, other people may come and continue to find the bones next to them. Lastly, Myhrvold has taken all the physicians experts in his company to consider and share the ideas. They had solved the problems that a medical professional could not provide the answer. Myhrvold also had an idea of calling all the physicians to solve the medical problem instead of calling the doctors, so this is a style of creative thinking of Myhrvold. This can be said multiples because some ideas from physician are identical.

ReplyDeleteFrom the pass till now, it is necessary for people to discover a new invention and solve the problems. It may be possible that one person may know the answer but he does not have a method to inform whereas another person gets it and broadcast it as much as he can. Beside that, it is essential for people to brainstorm how to live with good quality. Many diseases may happen and then spread anytime and anywhere, consequently, genius scientists and physicians should find something out to protect people such as vaccine, medicine or surgery. To connect all countries into one world and to modernize people’s lifestyle, it is vital to invent effective the technology for human being. Of it is benefit for people to use, it can be improved around the world.
This wouldn't work as an acceptable summary without reference to the text.

ReplyDeleteGreat invention are found from the beginning of the first recreation. From the very first invention that stack up after one ideas from another. It takes smarts and extraordinary person to build something that would change how the world works and something they(the inventor) are not alone in the ideas they have and that is Multiple. For example, Alexander Graham Bell created the telephone in which if Bell never created it someone else like Elisha Gray could created. But both of Gray and Bell thought of the ideas at the same time. Myhrvold, he gather lots of smart people and come together to thinks of ideas and sell their ideas to big companies. It is a Multiple of people who created thoughts and process in such 2 or more minds can think a like. And the last one would be Jack Horner and Myhryold found a same interests and same passions and ideas in order to find dinosaurs bones. And they came up with the thoughts of looking hard enough and you can find it, to look deeper and deeper. Multiples are not being alone in this Worlds. Multiples are 2 or more and it's the meaning of your not alone in the feeling the way you feels.

ReplyDeleteIn the modern era, most people in the society would look and follow through scientists, successors, or people who invent great things in the past as their models. For this reason, most of us would assume that they were geniuses. But, what exactly is “genius”? Are they not ordinary people just like us? In my opinion, the only difference is they started first and worked hard to achieve their goals. However, if we were the first to discover something, who knows what would happen. This is what “multiple” hypothesis is.
First of all, there is a hypothesis call “the parallel universe”, which brings a great impact to the word “multiples”. This hypothesis explains how the reverse behaviorism affects the individual. For example, today I read a book tomorrow I may score the top in the exam. On the contrary, what if today I enter a parallel universe and turn into a gamer, tomorrow I will totally fail. So, what we do in the present will result in the near future.
Let’s look at the example of Bell and Gray, telephone inventor. Both of them have discovered the telephone at the same time. Unfortunately for Gray, Bell was the first to publish his findings to the peers and as the result, turnout to be the first one to discover the telephone. For this reason, “Parallel universe” indicates that, if in reverse, Gray was the first person to show up, or Bell had fallen to the Grand River instead then would this have change the history of telephone.
Likewise, Myhrvold and Horner. They form a team and search for the lost dinosaur bones. On the other hand, if others tried even harder they would also discover the bone either. Also, another example of Myhrvold and his company (The Intellectual Ventures). Bill Gates was the person who invested this company, but in reverse, if he had funded other company instead, will there be other kinds of company that is similar to this.
To sum up, in the parallel universe and multiple hypotheses there are always going to be new inventions or discovered coming up. What matters is what we are doing today, and if we didn’t do it there will always be someone who will do it. Like they say “yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery, but today is a gift that’s why we called the present.”
So, you have written an essay... but not a summary. I like what you've done, but this would not be what we call a summary because you have added information/concepts/ideas that are not part of the text. Your idea to bring in "parallel universe" is interesting, but if a reader wanted to know about Gladwell's essay, this writing would mislead them.
DeleteDo you know what I mean?

Multiples are like innovations in freedom because any ideas or techniques can be discovered from any part of the world by anyone at the same time. Therefore, if something has not invented by the person, another person will do it. Such a thought came from when Alexander Graham Bell created the first telephone. On the other hand, some people might not able to find the way out because they do not work hard enough to achieve their goals just like Nathan Myhrvold and his dinosaur expeditions. One way to solve a problem is to form a group of clever people and to brainstorm what are possible ways. Such a method is same as Intellectual Ventures did.
This is incomplete. I don't think a reader would be able to understand what multiples means by the incomplete examples you describe in this paragraph. Right?

ReplyDeleteThe discovery of the similar inventions that happen at the same time could be the definition of multiples. The anecdote that Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray had invented the telephone in 1874 could be an example of multiples. Moreover, According to Gladwell (2008), there are two people who interested in dinosaur and they started finding the dinosaur bones. Finally, they found a dozen of dinosaur bones. On the other hand, others people who did not find for it concluded that there were no dinosaur bones. Furthermore, there were a company which was established by Myhrold, he just hired all of the smartest people and brainstorming the ideas. From these anecdotes, it is clearly means that all of those inventors are not a genius, but they just work hard enough.

DeleteIt sounds really easy to find dinosaur bones. Is that what Gladwell says?

There are some example in these three anecdotes. The first example is Nathan Myhrvold who interested in dinosaurs and Jack Hornor with team that find more T-rex bones. This is because they tried to work very hard and if other people try hard as these people, they would have found many T-rex bones as them as well. Another example is Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Grey the telephone's innovators who had discovered telephone at the same time. Both of them went to Philadelphia exhibition to present their invention in the same day. However, Bell presented his invention first, so he was recognized as the telephone's innovator. On the other hand, Grey would be telephone's innovator if he presented his idea first. Also, if these two people did not discover this idea some one else would do it. The last example is the company that found by Myhrvold. He hired a lot of smart people to created new ideas and sell it. Moreover, Bill Gates came to his company and created ideas about how to make nuclear power safer and useable. Consequently, the ideas of the word multiples is different people at different places who have the same ideas at the same time.
In our world, there are a lot of amazing innovations. All of these amazing inovations always make people think make people think that anyone who had created these amazing innovations must be smart or genius. However, infact, everyone can innovate the new innovations without having to be genius. For instance, Nathan Myhrvold, Jack Horner, and their team could find more T-rex bones in a short time than others who had found over the last ninety years. The reason that they could find more bones is that they had worked very hard and they had already known roughly where they could find the bones. Therefore, if anyone work hard like these people and know the background that can find the bones, they will also be able to find lots of bones. Moreover, Alexender Graham Bell and Elisha Grey, the two telephone's innovators had discovered the telephone at approximately the same time. Both of them went to Philadephia exhibition in order to introduce their own invention in the same day. However, Bell was the one who had been recognized as the telephone's innovator because he patented it first. On the other hand, it could be Grey who was recognized as a telephone's innovator if he patented his new innovation before Bell. This introduces us to the concept of multiples. Multiples is the phenomenon of simutaneous discovery. This means that different people from different places can discover or invent the new innovations at the same time. It is not because they are smart, but they have already known the basic ideas, so they just take another step, combine many parts of the basic idea together, and innovate the new innovations. Lastly, there was a company called Intellectual Ventures which was the company that constructed by Myhrvold. He hired loads of smart people from different fields to brainstorm about the ideas. New ideas could be discovered, but many ideas came up which were aleready discovered by other people. Again, this is the idea of multiples.

Sorry for the typing mistake
Delete1. Background of the places that can find the bones
2. Always make people think that anyone
This is a good summary. One more conclusion sentence to wrap up the paragraph would make it perfect.
DeleteSection #3 ID 5480724
ReplyDeleteMany innovations we have today are the major reason which causes us a convenient lives. We generally think of those who invent these amazing objects as a genius, and, we always believe these kind of people rarely exist. However, the truth is geniuses are within us; we are all one. Everything that are discovered by those we call genius is a things that are already there. Majority of us are not aware of it, but some do, so there comes a term "multiples". Multiples, in this case, means a situation where two individuals or more explore the same thing mostly at the same time. There are a few situations from the history that may demonstrate this word. First, Elisha Gray and Alexander Bell's case is the easiest one to start with. They both discovered telephone at the same time and intended to announce their discoveries at the same exhibition, didn't you think it was amazing? Another example to give is the case of Myhrvold and Jack Horner. According to the text, Myhrvold said his team found T. rex bones more than anyone else in the world, didn't it mean there were some other people found the same thing as Myhrvold's team at the same time, but only in another different place? Now it starts to make sense. Yet, another example to emphasize multiple situations is Myhrvold and Intellectual Ventures (I.V.)'s case; clever individuals are brought together to discuss about things. Many of them may already have some ideas which may be exactly the same as others but the puzzle still might not complete, so when they come together, there are more possibilities for them to figure that out. From the last example, it is clearly that there seems to be a chance for many of those smart people to discover same invention because they tend to think of the same kind of thing. As you can see, geniuses do not exist rarely, in fact, too many exist! It might be the matter of time or any other factors, even awareness that can help someone to realize they actually are geniuses.
I am sorry for not arranging the paragraph Aj.M
DeleteThis is a clever summary paragraph. I like how you tied the three stories together... just be careful. You're making comments about the "genius within us." Although this an interesting idea and a creative way to write about the essay, it is a new idea that does exist in the essay. In a summary, you need to be careful not to say something that is not there. Do you know what I mean?
DeleteSec#3 ID 5480681
ReplyDeleteThe myriad of innovative ideas already exist, but only a few people can catch them. It is not surprising that there will be two persons on the earth think same ideas and discover new innovations at the same time. Thereby, this phenomenon of simultaneous discovery is called “multiples”.
Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray, for instance, did not know each other before, but they simultaneously discover the telephone. It can be seen that if one of them do not discover it, another one will.
Another, the innovative person, Nathan Myhrvold, set up a company joining smart people to share their creative ideas together, and they sold those ideas to other companies; nonetheless, if Nathan Myhrold do not assemble those smart people, there will be other companies hire them or some of them will be able to get that idea by themselves.
The last example of the concept of multiple is the discovery of dinosaur bones. Jack Horner and Nathan Myhrvold formed a team to find dinosaur bones which no one found them for a long time. However, only nine year, this team could find a truckload of dinosaur bones. Consequently, the reason why most people cannot find dinosaur bones is that they were not looking hard enough; those bones are already there for million years.
Ok... so what? 1-2 more conclusion sentences are necessary here to bring all of the ideas together into one unified point about "multiples."
