Considering the technology’s S-curve and relating it through analogy to other technologies’ developmental profiles can provide insights into how the technology in question might evolve in the future. One such method is called TRIZ or Theoria Resheneyva Isobretatelskehuh Zadach, which is Russian for “inventive problem-solving.” TRIZ is based on the principle that your problem or one similar to it has already been solved at some point. Thus, creativity means finding the earlier case, adapting that solution to your issue, and resolving all the contradictions.
