3.Using the doubting game and the believing game illustrate a different point of view.
4.How is this different than your point of view?
5.Using automatic and reversal thinking modes what assumptions can be made about your invention?
6.Reflection: Write a short summary on what have you gained from the 21 modes of thinking?
Product/Idea: A talking night light…
1.Purpose: The purpose of the “talking night light” is to have bedtime stories or other information material to read aloud while the night light is on. The brain is able to collect environmental information as we are sleeping. The talking night light could be both soothing and educational! ?Deductive reasoning is… 1.If we have to have a night light on and our brain still senses its environment;

Adults will be able to use the night light as well instead of having the tv on all night. All people who use this product will become smarter if they load the night light with informational material: course textbooks, novels, the Bible, etc. ?Implications if my invention does not work are the following: children will be afraid when the wake up in the middle of the night. The night light could cause nightmares. The night light could cause people to not get a good night’s sleep.
