Classification (Debriefing of the hidden linkage exercise)

Thanks David, Augusta, C man, Wingo and Fung. And you can see the outcome generated by yourself with the skill I am trying to introduce. What you have done is classifying those objects in different ways. We proved that it is effective for a paradigm shift and lead to a new perspective of seeing. At the same time we should know when and where to apply this skill. In fact, it could be used in several situations.

1. Extend ideas especially when you thought you're in a dead end on the mind map.
(When we can see those objects as "luxury good", it bring out the ideas like "expensive", "living quality", "fashion" etc... So that it generate ideas in systematical way.)

2. The problem is viewed in another way that we couldn't see in the first glance. Different question lead to different answer.
(When Augusta sees the problem as "graphic design" those elements are just "icons", "pixel", "2D" etc. and it is easily to extend ideas like "illustration", "B/W", and even "all contain circle in it" they are all in our first sense - visual)
(When Wingo sees "artificial", "every day", and deeper "meaningless if no one use it". Those ideas are generated in a route of context)

3. Aid to Identify the core value of a series of item.
(For those ideas like "commercial", "style", "need", "mass production", "brand", "fashion", we may put it all in a category of "Revenue". And this is the most center part of it. )

4. As a result of getting it right for the core value, that enable you to rephrase idea with more accurate wording. (Ultimately you may have a catchy copy writing.)

5. Uncovering the underlying pattern between things.
(Let's go back to the point 1. I believe that systematical thinking is good for construction of a concept that make sense, therefore you may have a relevant reason to persuade the audience in an idea or having a good presentation to persuade your boss & client finally.)
