53. When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they
found out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (ink won't
flow down to the writing surface). To solve this problem, it took
them one decade and $12 million.
They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down,
underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a
temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C.

54. You are now faced with same dilemma,
think inside of the box and write down
secretly what you will use to solve this
problem right now NOT in one decade
and with $0 not $12 million.

56. The boom box: Look at the familiar object
provided (boom box), and examine it, study it.
Touch it, operate it (with care). Keep studying it
until you have learned something about
everything it can do. This is what it means to
think inside the box. The box is what you
know.

57. The boom box: Look at the familiar object
provided (boom box) again. Consider other
things you know along these lines, what can be
incorporated in future boom box designs that
are absent in this one? This is what it means to
think outside the box, using the box that you
know.

58. Writing Exercise: Pick up a book, close your eyes, open it to a
random page, and stab your finger at the page. Look and see
which word your finger landed on. Now get a paper and pen or
pencil, and come up with 10 ways that word relates to your life.
Obvious things – things you already know
Non-obvious things - very hard. That's the wall of the box.
