In the latest issue of MIT Technology Review the editorial discusses the creative thought process. Some innovators found conversation with their students to be creatively stimulating. Others used a long drive or commute on the underground. “Perhaps more telling is that despite being at the forefront of their technology, nobody cites technology as a tool for thinking better.”

Personally, anytime I’m on a bus or train, walking by myself (or with the dogs – they don’t chat to me) or even sitting on the loo are all prime times for creative thought. Indeed I reckon the moment you put a computer or TV in front of anyone they lose the chance of creative inspiration.
