Mind maps (and their next of kin, concept maps) are great tools to draw out ideas, demonstrate connections, and to brainstorm. The next generation of mind mapping - according this article - is a shift from “an organisation method to a collaboration tool.” Mind/concept maps fit under the broad umbrella of visual thinking. Visual thinking is an intuitive, but not frequently referenced concept. Much of our thinking is done in images and yet much of our intact of information is textual. As the web moves from text to images to video, it will be interesting to see if visual thinking grows in popularity.
