Fantasy Questions

Creativity Challenge 4

In Michael Michalko's book: THINKERTOYS he describes many ideas generation techniques. This Challenge comes from his Chapter 26 STONE SOUP

He calls them "Fantasy Questions" or "What Iffing?". de Bono calls it the use of "PO" or it is similar to it.

de Bono through PO creates "statements".

Michalko creates questions.

Yes for you who have read many of the creativity books and articles other people have their names for this same exercise.

Now...

Create a list of one dozen or more "fantasy questions"

i.e.:

  1. What if we humans had noses in the front of our faces and the end of one of our fingers?
  2. What if we could use grass instead of petroleum to run our cars?
  3. What if clouds were really a form of food?
  4. What if we could control sunsets every night?
  5. What if everyone wore exactly the same clothes all the time?
  6. What if we could read through omosis?
  7. What if bicycles had hexagon-shaped wheels?
  8. What if trees grew upside down?
  9. What if elevators went up and down and side to side?
  10. What if laser printers could print in white ink?
  11. What if my keyboard automatically typed the language of the reader no matter what language I was typing?
  12. What if every workplace required 2 hours of laughing every day?

The end result of this challenge is a list of 12 "fantasy question" not answers or solutions. Those you might send later.
