When we talk of inventhelp inventions which have either touched or changed our lives, we often praise the inventor for “thinking out of the box.” How do these people think within the new invention idea by thinking out of brother ql-570 comes with? Is it possible for your me to do it too? To know this we have to exactly what the “box” is with the intention that we can think beyond it. The “box” could be the way things are, and exactly we have been tutored to view things. There are a number factors which determine the way we look at tools. Thus the first step start thinking beyond the normal is to identify and challenge our own views and perceptions.

The entire process of challenging preconceived notions, established norms and usual assumptions is a very powerful and creative way to resolve a problem, because walking on the much-treaded patch is safe, though boring. For instance, when you think of a domestic air-conditioner, consider some of the assumptions? Cooling, auto switch off, silent, it needs to run on electricity, and so on. What if someone thought of in order to manufacture an air-conditioner which ran on something else which is more organic and saved on power consumption? Another way to come up with a new invention idea is to think the top absurd. One needs an exceedingly open mind for this as the process can both be fun as well as irritating. There could be hundreds of completely absurd solutions to a problem, but one of them could be a genuinely new invention idea. Focus on a “what if” question and you will be blown away at the number of absurd answers you could arrive at.

There is a literal way of thinking as and that is to emerge from your home or office and watch the way people live, behave and communicate. The story of the shoe salesman comes to mind. This man went to Africa to sell shoes, a country where people never wore all of them. By thinking out of the box, he thought of the idea of selling his first pair into a curious buyer by highlighting its heat resisting abilities and ensuing comfort to his feet. The shoe salesman soon opened shop and became a millionaire. There are many stories like this and as the saying goes, you can actually sell a refrigerator with regard to an Eskimo, provided you can invent some way to convince him of its utility.

Concepts like division, subtraction, temperature control, colorful all trigger great invention ideas; make a large table foldable help to make it more space for utility purposes; withhold two legs from another to enable faster cleaning; add color to domestic utility items and make them inter-changeable; ideas like these will flow once you believe deeper and harder at the common daily objects and ideas for new inventions will be a knock away!
