[stylist] Mind mapping

Wed Oct 19 17:28:40 UTC 2011

Hi Daniel,
I came to that conclusion after I read the Wikipedia article about brain-storming, and some other stuff about free writing. Mind mapping may be free writing--or the same idea--except that it is about a topic and that it is visual.

Thanks.

Jim

In my opinion; mind mapping appears to be a form of brainstorming.  It
displays a visual representation of the brainstorming process centered
around one central idea or theme.  I suppose the visual purpose of this
exercise would be to provide you with a logic chain or map of where each
idea was born and created after.

As a blind person, we could create a similar, non-visual, process using a
spreadsheet or text editor.  We are just basically linking each idea with
its preceding idea.  You would want to set up your spreadsheet or text
document in a way that would allow you to skip around, unconstrained,  from
idea to idea.  Perhaps, Microsoft Word could be used through the use of an
outline (bullets or numerical) with each new line of thought going down in
order of hierarchy.

These are just my unqualified thoughts on the topic.  Hopefully, I have
contributed a little to this topic.

Daniel
