Critical thinking methodology in Making Inventions and Innovations
Stephen Cheng
The secret of Thomas Edison, the Wright
brothers and many great inventors has been uncovered. Their particular skill enable
them to make important inventions and innovations
is called "critical thinking" skill. I shall demonstrate that this same skill
may be applied in helping us solve two of our more serious
problems, 1.
All animals have instincts; A German shepherd always barks at a stranger,
while a small Peking dog always wags its tail. We call these behaviors animal instincts. However, humans are animals, too.
Then should humans have behaviors from instincts just like animals do?
2. We have many energy forms, for example kinetic energy, potential energy,
electric and magnetic energy, mechanical energy, chemical energy, heat energy, etc. Then is life also a kind of energy form?
Every creativity book says you do not
need to possess high level of academic knowledge in order to make an
important invention or innovation. Today we can demonstrate how this is done.
Shool can only train you how to memorize large amount of knowledge and then apply the learned knowledge to a new place.
Critical thinking training can train you how to think "profoundly" and come up with a totally new concept!!!
