Hi Martyn

children have less inhibitions then adults have, and that is one explanation for their imagination.

You have a good point, that to much knowledge can restrain creativity.

But do not throw away the child with the bathwater. (famous and old Dutch saying)

It is in the transpiring effort needed to make an IT solution work in business that we have to overcome exisiting limitations and remove real obstacles.

The in depth knowledge is not required to have an idea, indeed, with this knowledge we have the risk to think of an idea as infeasible too soon.

But the knowledge is absolutely necessary however to make a good idea work.

Regards,
Daan
