Until today :
a) two messages (Baby's crying ; Black hornets) propose to re-solve problems which have already been solved by others
b) one message (Dolphin's sleep) proposes to re-invent (assuming one may use this verb, but this discussion is absolutely not the scope of this blog) an "innovation" of Mother Nature
c) one message (Wine trade show) proposes directly a solution to a real life problem
What is the meaning of such proposals, in the TRIZ frame ?
* they describe problems for which an inventive solution exists ; this point is extremely important because it is out of question to call TRIZ for problems with obvious solutions (this trend is unfortunately widespread in some books and on Internet, and is prejudicial to the TRIZ credibility)
* these problems and their solutions are understandable by everybody, not only specialized engineers ; therefore they are a good illustration field for the introduction of TRIZ fundaments to anyone
* even if the huge majority of problems (and inventions) are solved (created) without the help of TRIZ (see examples a) and c) above) - to solve and to invent are parts of the genius of the human kind, from the mere citizen to the great inventor - they might often have been solved with the help of TRIZ, and this approach can show how problems can be easier to solve than they apparently are
* to try hard to solve such problems constitutes a necessary training for the development of the TRIZ way of thinking
