Watching 

Visual information like digital video, the internet, drawings, paintings, photography, film, and television has increased the accessibility of information.  An innovator can watch and understand challenges and problems anywhere without traveling by using visual information. Technology has enhanced the accessibility of information, challenges, and problems around the world.

Visual information like television broadcasts, digital videos, and images present different problems and challenges around us. Most of us watch television, images, and videos for leisure or to see what is happening in the world. There are new ideas from these broadcasts, digital images, and videos. But not everyone can watch and discover new ideas from visual information channels.

There is a way we watch television, digital videos, and images to discover new ideas. Also, there is a way we watch television, digital videos, and images to access only information.  We can watch and discover new ideas if our minds are programmed to be receptive to new ideas. Also, we can watch and catch nothing rather than information if our minds are not programmed to be receptive to new ideas.

It all depends on how we have programmed our minds on watching visual information.

What is Radical Watching?

Radical watching is the ability to watch positively beyond the fundamental nature or facts of something. You watch to appreciate what you see while fixing your mind to understand what’s behind the scene. The focus of radical watching is to watch and be open to discovering new ideas beyond the known facts. 

Scientists are among the professional groups who adopted radical watching as soon as the technology became available. They use this approach to obtain a larger, more complete picture to collect much information, study, and understand the subject matter.

Visual information is not only for scientific research. Also, it is in innovation, creativity, or inventions. Innovators and inventors can practice radical watching to discover new ideas from digital video, the internet, drawings, paintings, photography, film, and television to discover new ideas.
