Abstract: Abstract Ideas for new technologies are born or created mainly as a result of need and demand, but also sometimes out of the blue, when we least expect them. They can also be born as a result of forecasting or foresighting studies in an effort at planning the future. The capability for bearing ideas can be nurtured and honed from our everyday life experiences. Just look around you—I bet you can see at least a few things that could be improved and many others that can be used in different ways. Even counter-intuitive phenomena can offer new ideas. Nevertheless, in whichever way ideas are born, they need a researcher or an inventor to give them life.
