When it comes to creative spark and design, few can deny the awesomeness of the "innovation and design" firm Ideo. In the following TED video, the CEO of Ideo, Tim Brown, presents the strong connection of creativity and play; bringing ideas and experiments back from the psychedelic drug induced sixties all the way through present approaches, all of which lean toward breaking the barriers of our conservative adulthood.
