The big problem with this Thinking is that it doesn’t work. At all. The main reason is that we are not wired to go from solution (technology breakthroughs), idea and then find a problem that suits that. We want to think the other way around. Problem — Idea — Solution. Also, when it comes to a solution, of course, we should look into Technology Breakthrough.

The good thing is to get inspiration in seminars what is possible with new technology. Moreover, you might come up with a solution to a problem based on that.

If you haven’t identified any problems, don’t bother to find a new shiny technology. The only thing you will accomplish is a new gadget.

If you are going to listen to anyone. Listen to someone outside your domain. Like David Bowie 1999.
