Abstract
“The development of technology, just like every development, follows the laws of dialectics. TRIZ therefore is grounded in the application of dialectical logic for creative solutions to technical problems. But, logic alone is not enough. The special properties of the instruments with which we work must be taken into consideration in every case. This instrument is a very special one — the human brain.” This was written 30 years ago by the founder of TRIZ [2].
Good results can only be achieved with a high culture of thinking..
Scientists, builders, and inventors need strong and lively powers of imagination. Unfortunately, many people have very low imaginative potential..
It is possible that the application of laws, procedures, and standards can be diametrically opposed to “flights of fantasy”..
The entire apparatus of TRIZ is intended to support strong and easily controllable powers of imagination..
