Hi, I'm Alice and I'm going to uni in Liverpool. I saw a TED talk the other day and it kind of

00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:17.520
really made me think about new innovations and stuff like that and what this TED talk was about

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:33.599
was kind of using alternatives to solve problems. So I'll explain that a little bit clearer.

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:41.599
So he was talking about like a use of like medical equipment and how it's quite expensive

00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:50.320
and there's these things called like scalp clips which are used in surgery and they just like

00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:58.240
pin back like the skin and stuff in surgery and basically they're really really really expensive

00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:07.839
and this doctor from India looked at the scalp clips and they were too expensive for his surgery

00:01:07.839 --> 00:01:12.720
so decided to use just binder clips instead which you can just get from like stationary

00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:19.360
shops and stuff. So he used these binder clips instead of scalp clips which were exactly the

00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:25.839
same thing it's just that one was had like a medical title over it because it was like a

00:01:25.839 --> 00:01:29.680
medical tool and the other was just a stationary tool but they did exactly the same thing.

00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:35.599
So I thought it was kind of and he saved like a lot of money by doing that obviously it was all

00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:45.680
like sterilized and stuff but it made me think about actually using like the rest of the

00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:53.519
world around you and kind of like different even though it's not the same field of like work.

00:01:54.239 --> 00:02:01.599
I quite liked the idea that they really thought outside the box and used something that was just

00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:05.360
completely different from their field of work but used the exact same thing

00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:14.880
and yeah so it's not really like an incredible new design because it's already there but I thought

00:02:14.880 --> 00:02:20.800
it really made me think about actually being able to use what's already there.

00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:25.360
Yeah so I thought it was pretty impressive.
