During class, we have been bombarded with design thinkers across all disciplines. I myself did not realize how many people are design thinkers in some way. By learning about these people, my thoughts about design thinking have changed a bit, but for the most part has stayed strong. Design thinking is taking and idea or problem and tinkering and/or perfecting it for a more convenient or more practical or more truthful product. All of our design thinkers have had some idea or problem and have run with it, and made it better or more interesting. Einstein made his field more truthful, and expanded the knowledge of physics tremendously. All have also relied on their surroundings for inspiration and have had a team or partner to help them. Madame Marie Curie is another design thinker that I found. She is a woman (hadn't had many of those yet) and became the first person to win two nobel prizes and became one of the first woman scientists. She discovered a new element and expanded radiology immensely. She also worked closely with her husband, but after he died, was more recognized for her work. Without her thinking, our modern radiology, such as chemo and x-rays, would not have been the same.
