What if questioning like a kid can make you change the game?

3 years old Edwin Land’s daughter made a game changing question to his dad. While Lantern’s family were enjoying a relax vacations in 1943, Edwin took a photograph of her daughter, and immediately she asked why couldn’t they see the picture right away? In those days, an expert would have answered because that is the way the camera works; however, Lantern also questioned himself and this question led him to a journey which end was a camera which could develop the picture right away.

· What if we can improve our questions by letting us to think like kids again?

· What if simple game-changing ideas come from an impossible-to-answer question with your current knowledge?

· What if questions are the simplest used tools when tackling problems?

Questions work as a compass; they guide you through uncertainty to the solution, are the best tools to get to know the unknown, and one of the main drivers for innovation. Ideas are born when trying to answer a question, so, if you want to improve your ideas, first you need to improve your questioning.
