I’m a designer and I totally believe that Useless Knowledge is a critical component for Creativity. Creativity is connecting the dots and Useless Knowledge provides many of those dots to store away then to connect and create the next thing / innovation. In many corporations it’s hard for people to understand Useless Knowledge in the role of creation / innovation. Even when I worked at GE, people would ask why are you off to the Detroit Auto Show?, don’t you design kitchen appliances. Then years later some of the form factors of oven handles and surfaces colours and finishes that made GE Profile so successful were influenced from Auto shows. :-) creativity. Nice article.
