For those who thinks UA-cam is drunk because at times it has more likes/dislikes or comments, read this: You need to watch a specific amount of time so it counts as a view. Some people click, leave a comment, give a like/dislike or leave "first!" and click off or do those before watching the video. It doesn't count as a view. It's only a view after about a minute of watching time. UA-cam isn't drunk, It's just algorithm. To fix this problem, just reload the page or something.
If I recall correctly the views after the first 301 views are (or were at the very least) also verified before being shown and the views are counted in batches.
"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution." - Albert Einstein
A teacher of mine in high school once said something similar. I and a few other students were casually chatting with him one day when the conversation drifted to my school's habit of creating a new rule that hinders productivity after every **one** isolated case. He said, "This school's rules are *reactive*, which is the problem, but having no rules wouldn't solve things either. Think about it like this: if you threw a party but made so many rules, no one would be able to do anything; they'd just end up sitting in a corner. However, if you threw a party with no rules whatsoever, people would be at a loss as to what they could do or where to start, and would also all end up sitting in corners. Meanwhile, if you threw a party and set rules to act as guidelines, that's where people start think up new ways of being able to do the things they want so as to not break them. That sweet spot iis where innovation happens."
This! This video is what needs to be shown to people for funding in the sciences in america! Its not always about finding the end goal, but accidentally solving another goal!
One of my favourite examples of "adressing another areas constraints": Quantum Tunneling and Computers. Without Quantum Tunneling, Solid State Memory would not work. No USB sticks. No SD Cards. No SSD. No Smartphones or tablets wich rely on that shock resistant persistent memory - wich only solid State Memory can provide. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_storage And quantum tunneling also has a relevancy for understanding the suns fusion (it would not work at those low temperatures without QT).
Tell Me This i do pay attention in shcool and they teach stuff that i already knew thats why i love ted ed because i learn more stuff than shcool teaches me and i sometimes know more stuff than my teachers (not all of course) bassicly the us education system os questionable
Yash Keni i do. I love their videos and that is why i am here. But, these videos are no match for the school/college. If you learn more from these videos as compared to school then you are doing something wrong.
As a graphic designer, I con 100% attest that this is true. I HATE when a customer comes in and gives no thoughts at all on what they want their logo or design to look like, especially when the design is for a field I'm completely unfamiliar with.
"constraints arent the boundaries of creativity but the foundation of it" Very well said. This changed my perspective about problems as I will not be seeing them as problems anymore, but a way to reach my goals. Thank you ted-ed. Always been a love and will always be
In my senior year English literature and composition class, the teacher told us our final project would be... anything we wanted. Well, it had to relate loosely to a single one of the topics we covered in class. I literally had no idea what to do, because the constraint of "make anything" just paralyzed my decision making. So I know what this video is talking about.
There's a lot of studies showing how important constraints are to our everyday lives. Research in behavioral economics has shown that offering an abundances of choices actually makes decision-making harder and decreases the quality of the choices made. Other work in Political Psychology shows that introducing constraints to how people think about questions (through the introduction of frames) actually allows them to structure their attitudes into something cogent. Without the constraint, many weren't able to articulate the contents of the thought-soup that's evoked by difficult issues. TL;DR: Constraints not only help us work with hard problems. They help us think in our everyday lives too.

i learned this from keith richards, guitar world mag from 20 yrs ago , he said when he started playing in open tuning, especially open g, he now was playing on five strings instead of six. but that it forced him to look at the guitar in a new , fresh perspective, and besides we all intuitively know that the answers to everything are right in front of us at all times anyway
A good example of how constraints actually boost creativity in arts is the Oulipo movement in french literature and Georges Perec writing La Disparition, a novel with no 'e'.
This presentation rings true today. Too many constraints were brought up by the pandemic; however, there were also a plethora of innovations that came up.
I heard somewhere once that exactly this creative constraint is what makes minecraft so appealing. essentially it's just differently textured cubes but by combination you can create whatever comes to your imagination. This makes you think about how you can build a bed, a fridge, a sink, a castle, a treehouse simply out of cubes so you come up with creative solutions.
In fact, the "skycrane" landing system was implemented as Curiosity was too heavy to use airbags to land. At the final stage of landing the descent stage hovers 65 ft. over the Curiosity as it is lowered by cables, contaminating the area with thruster residue.
but thinking about a constraint makes people think of new alternative ways, leading to the discovery or invention of new ideas. I think thinking too much about a constraint leads you away from your initial goal
@Nicole true, though I think as long as it's more than one team working on a goal you'll get different solutions anyway. Its a matter of environment too, one organization in india will discover different things in different ways than one in france. What Jonas is saying actually matters more in the artistic field in my opinion, though it can sometimes be true in the realm of science.
Nathan Gatten I couldn't agree more about arts. There's that traditional idea that great artists break boundaries. But I am no artist, I actually am a engineer. In a more scientific way of thinking, there's a blurry boundary between boundary conditions and outside impositions. One has more to do with the problem itself, the last with management
"If you are like most people, you would be paralyzed by this task" But I'm an artist, it's my job to invent things - they don't have to be functional, only to look nice.
I'd say creative constraints narrows the possibilities, instead of saying it is the foundation, the problem of not having them is that there are too many variables and it makes it harder for us to focus in what we want to make, it is more of a guide, I think.
Boundless freedom can get counter-intuitive, if given to people who can't handle it. But for those that can, boundless freedom will get them to where noone has ever gone. We have to get out of our comfort zone. Without boundless freedom, we'd have never put man on Mars. Our constraints are only mental.
I always worried this way of thinking is like thinking inside the box.But after I've seen this video I have been enlightened with relief that my way of thinking (creative constraints) is not bad.
I am not sure about this but there are always constraints with engineering or technical problems. Creative constraints seems more apt for art such as portrayed in the first part of the video. Many legendary art were created with constraints.
When it comes to the realm of art, Self imposed constraints tend to be the best however. Many projects fail or become too Limited when other people who aren't artists impose those constraints without understanding the needs of the project.
Creative constraints can effect writers if they let them as I see it. Because as long as you have google docs, one can write as much as he or she pleases, and can also write about whatever he or she wants even.
I do this every day at work. Whether building or remodelling a home, business. Building, cabinets and creations. Sadly though, this technique is often used to solve the problem of how to put lipstick on a pig. Get it done, fast and cheaply, yet make it look like you did it right.
I gave some children an intro to MS Paint today. rather than just let them mess around I constrained their canvas to 48 x 48 pixels. The least impressive designs were those who chose to ignore that constraint.
So basically, too many choices could lead an uncreative way. that's why sometimes I hate internet, just ask google, you get millions of results and most of them are against each other, you don't know what to believe sometimes.
"Solutions must recognise the limitations of current technology in order to advance it." Very applicable to personal growth as well, it's necessary to put yourself out there - criticism might be the way forward. (Not an easy truth for me to live with, I must say)
why do the editor's of these video's think background music should be just as loud as the person speaking in the video? I think they are misunderstanding the term "background music". It is quite hard to understand this guy because of it.
Actually, if you give yourself some sort of weird rule you can easily come up with awesome stuff. Well at least it's easier to come up with awesome stuff if there's s limitation.
Here's a project I am working on. My goal is to segregate various types of waste like plastics or wet waste through automation for further recycling. I am thinking of using image recognition and machine learning to identify various types of waste. Is there a better way to do it?
I love videos of ted they are so funny interesting and helpful i love science because of ted and i learn to much things more then school thanks ted ed 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
"Constraints aren't the boundaries of creativity, but the foundation of it." nice.
If you have a small foundation and can't build a neighborhood, make a skyscraper
KManJacker you need a large foundation for a skyscraper
Eugene Kudlanov shhhh
I'm glad to know that at least one respondent got the foundation of the premise.
Or you can always dig deeper (pardon the pun) to stabilise a small foundation.
ted ed is my virtual weed
Tell Me This
try Vsauce. it's the good stuff.
Hannibus 42 Man I hit that shit up every chance I get, I'm addicted af.
Hannibus 42 Yeah, i do watch Vsauce but cant watch all of the videos :( they are not free :(
Tell Me This you can get it free from the internet
Tell Me This god this is so accurate

Olvirki, not anymore. UA-cam views used to freeze at 301, but it was changed over an year ago.
Ah ok, I was right to word it a bit careful then :).
It still does freeze, they just changed it to "301+"

I've learned more from Ted then I have in school.
you should pay more attention in school then
Tell Me This you should pay more attention to Ted ed too
Tell Me This i do pay attention in shcool and they teach stuff that i already knew thats why i love ted ed because i learn more stuff than shcool teaches me and i sometimes know more stuff than my teachers (not all of course) bassicly the us education system os questionable
Yash Keni i do. I love their videos and that is why i am here. But, these videos are no match for the school/college. If you learn more from these videos as compared to school then you are doing something wrong.
Tell Me This So True!
Overcoming creative constraints are so fulfilling !
As a graphic designer, I con 100% attest that this is true. I HATE when a customer comes in and gives no thoughts at all on what they want their logo or design to look like, especially when the design is for a field I'm completely unfamiliar with.
I love how intrigued and then satisfied those little scientists looks. Vult scientiam!
Cool
"constraints arent the boundaries of creativity but the foundation of it" Very well said. This changed my perspective about problems as I will not be seeing them as problems anymore, but a way to reach my goals. Thank you ted-ed. Always been a love and will always be
Please Upload a Riddle !!
Ted ed is the best

Man this is so true! I'm studying to become a graphic designer, and constraints honestly help so much when I'm creating a design!
The animations are always so good
this time the sound effects were bomb too
they sucked

Igor Stravinsky talks about this in his "Poetics of Music" book. Check it out. Great read.
I swear I'm so happy when I see a new video from Ted Ed in my subscription box!
To relate this to other subjects, like language arts: it is part of the reason writing becomes easier when given a prompt
Sounds in this video...are sooo catchy!
Ted never stops to improve
you people truely educate and make us feel we are yet to learn so many things
In Hindi, we have a word for this "Jugaad" :)
Cool! :)
Lol
Animesh Sharma
I love Archie!
Jugaad means constraint? or creativity? or the constraints that lead to creativity?
Alejandro Camus
I wondered that as well
I just gotta say, this is one of the greatest animations, you should do more vids in this style of animation.
A good example of how constraints actually boost creativity in arts is the Oulipo movement in french literature and Georges Perec writing La Disparition, a novel with no 'e'.
This presentation rings true today. Too many constraints were brought up by the pandemic; however, there were also a plethora of innovations that came up.
I love the animation style, thanks 🙏 Ted!

But that's a two sided sword. Thinking to much about a constraint may block the creativity. Dan Pink talked about that
so true
Jonas Amaro Good thing (not including school and some professional feilds) the creative is the one in charge!
but thinking about a constraint makes people think of new alternative ways, leading to the discovery or invention of new ideas. I think thinking too much about a constraint leads you away from your initial goal
@Nicole

The sound effects are good but a bit sensory overload
I really liked that there was backgroundmusic in this one
your animations are amazing .
love it.☺
I'm having a question -what happened to that sky crane after if made the curiosity rover land on Mars?
ua-cam.com/video/oQEHwfV6WGs/v-deo.html

wow !! every time i watch a video i feel so informed !! well done guys
That's what I always thought! Glad there's a vid like this on here
AWESOME
This is why my survival minecraft world is much more organized then my creative minecraft worlds (as well as more fun to)
If school was taught like this, id be a genius by now.
KO Lee Sin If every school taught like this there would be an end to dumb people, like me. Huehuehue
these animations are so satisfying
I always worried this way of thinking is like thinking inside the box.But after I've seen this video I have been enlightened with relief that my way of thinking (creative constraints) is not bad.
funny how I'm racking my brain on how to write part of my short film when this is uploaded
"Constraints aren't the boundary of creativity, but the foundation of it."
I am not sure about this but there are always constraints with engineering or technical problems. Creative constraints seems more apt for art such as portrayed in the first part of the video. Many legendary art were created with constraints.
Sometimes I think that watching TED-Ed videos should be MANDATORY in schools !
what are the creative constraints of making a TED-Ed video?
Video is amazing
However BG music was annoying
Almost gave me headache

Creative constraints can effect writers if they let them as I see it. Because as long as you have google docs, one can write as much as he or she pleases, and can also write about whatever he or she wants even.
that awkward moment when the teacher gives you a free essay and then gives you a low grade because it was "not pertinent with the request"
Constraints are drivers of discovery ✨
i have learned a lot of things from your videos,acculately youtube is rubbis but you making your videos by different way
I do this every day at work. Whether building or remodelling a home, business. Building, cabinets and creations. Sadly though, this technique is often used to solve the problem of how to put lipstick on a pig.
Get it done, fast and cheaply, yet make it look like you did it right.
People : Why won't you give us complete freedom?
Authority : 0:30
Sarcasm intended.
I gave some children an intro to MS Paint today. rather than just let them mess around I constrained their canvas to 48 x 48 pixels. The least impressive designs were those who chose to ignore that constraint.
I keep forgetting we haven't actually gone to mars. Mark Watney just read so real!!!!
So basically, too many choices could lead an uncreative way. that's why sometimes I hate internet, just ask google, you get millions of results and most of them are against each other, you don't know what to believe sometimes.
Just had an Intel advertisement featuring or should I say staring Metro booming... as I am bout to watch a Ted-ED vid.... this is the culture...
best animation, best explaination and best channel....👏👌
These sounds are awesome
Just something I needed to know! 😃 Keep making videos about science.
I LOVE THIS ANIMATION
Necessity is the mother of creation
TED-Ed actually makes me want to learn ... unlike school
"a system that allows for 100% water recovery"
Frank Herbert was right when he wrote Dune wasn't he
Engineers are unappreciated in the world. Let's start The Engineers Revolution! ✊🏼
"Solutions must recognise the limitations of current technology in order to advance it." Very applicable to personal growth as well, it's necessary to put yourself out there - criticism might be the way forward. (Not an easy truth for me to live with, I must say)
There's no creativity without constraints:)
Very true in entrepreneurship as well!
I started contemplating about this after I accidentally softlocked myself from the elytra and ended up making my experience better lol.
This is literally what I was thinking about when choosing to buy a new laptop, how, just how do they read my mind?
It's incredible... it speaks about virus and landing to Mars... very popular topics now!!
Don't know why I got goosebumps. Maybe because of the eerie good music
great as always
The profession with the most constraints in one setting... And sitting
Teachers.
Best youtube channel ever
Man, this is deep
I'm starting fifth grade, and I'm pretty sure Ted-Ed taught me more things than I've learned in school ._.
Great video
Me watching the video not paying attention because trying to figure out what I would invent
why do the editor's of these video's think background music should be just as loud as the person speaking in the video? I think they are misunderstanding the term "background music". It is quite hard to understand this guy because of it.
Actually, if you give yourself some sort of weird rule you can easily come up with awesome stuff. Well at least it's easier to come up with awesome stuff if there's s limitation.
1:16 TED knew about Corona few years back 😂
Here's a project I am working on. My goal is to segregate various types of waste like plastics or wet waste through automation for further recycling. I am thinking of using image recognition and machine learning to identify various types of waste. Is there a better way to do it?
nice vid ted ed glad I'm a sub
This video would be so much better with different or lower volume background music.
Great work. Solutions must recognize the limitations of current technology in order to advance it.
I love videos of ted they are so funny interesting and helpful i love science because of ted and i learn to much things more then school thanks ted ed 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
thanks for the great contents as always!
the back ground score was too loud, it was difficult to hear.
sunny singh but it is such a beautiful score!
Hannah Therese you can hear it separately, narration is more important.
something called caption/subtitles
*FIRST*
time watching this video😂
Isabella Xu second
Laaaaaaaaaaaaaast. :T
Music at 3:40 is loud enough to cover up speaker's voice.
What was the constraint that was fixed by gunpowder?
As a scientist and engineer this is the imagination scientists need that engineers have
This make me remember deadline
