The Adjacent Possible

I recently started reading Where Good Ideas Come From, by Steven Johnson, and I was very intrigued with what the author was saying about the adjacent possible.  It never really occurred to me, that one idea leads to another like open doors.  The adjacent possible represents the many ways of how innovation can happen.  Therefore, when there is innovation, there are even more possible boundaries to cross while exploring that idea.  This made me realize that, through exploring an idea or establishment, there are endless possibilities sitting within our reach.  Steven Johnson also discusses how good ideas are shared through liquid networks.  He writes about how ones' environment can inspire new ideas, such as sitting at a conference table with other people.  Through having a social connection with other people, multiple, ideas are given leading to new ideas to happen subsequently.  The term "liquid network" is used to represent how we share ideas like a network, therefore, embedding ourselves in what the adjacent possible has in store for us.
