Think inside the box...
Was wondering what happened to my idea baggage... pondering why i haven't posted a technical blog for so long... I had to think laterally(n' parallely) after all... chanced to read this para(click title 4 original article) about thinking "outside the box" which says
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- "We wondered whether thinking outside the box really does enhance creativity. To find out, we checked in with Dr. Peter Suedfeld, a psychology professor at the University of British Columbia and an expert in human cognition. He told us that creativity is a "very mysterious thing" that "exists in pretty much everyone" -- but that there are indeed ways to improve it.
One method he has studied extensively is what he calls the Restricted Environmental Stimulation Technique (REST) -- putting people into places with no light or outside stimuli. "What I've found," he said, "is that far from making people crazy, moderate deprivation lowers blood pressure, improves mood, and makes people more creative."
Does that mean a person wanting to be creative is better off thinking, say, inside a box?
Dr. Suedfeld considered this a moment, and then said, "To the extent the box keeps the outside world away -- then, yes, it is better to think inside the box."

Lights off and pls. pls. No disturbance...I am thinking "inside the box"... hee hee hee ;-) I hope my next post will be a pure technical one....
