Alsalam alikom wa ra7amt Allah wa barakatoh
This is my 100th post (actually I've some other posts in the queue but this is the 100th published post)... I've received and email that I really liked and thought about posting about the topic here...
First story:
- Americans faced a very big problem when they were planning for their first journey to the outside space.. the problem is that astronauts will not be able to use Pens and of course ink will never go out of the pen or else, it'll not stay on the paper.. to solve this, they spent about 10 millions of dollars (as the email claimed) in research to invent special pen with special ink that can be used.....
on the other hand, when Russians faced the same problem, they simply advised their astronauts to use pencils ;)..
Second story:
- In China, there was a factory that produces something and pack it in boxes automatically. the problem is that sometimes empty boxes are produced they wanted to make something that rejects empty boxes... They made a machine that uses some sensors to detect whether a box is empty or not, then they hired someone to stand beside this machine and throws empty boxes...
The same problem happened in a smaller factory and all what they did is putting a fan that faced the assembly line, any empty box that passes in front of it will be pushed away...
The moral here is that, search for a simple solution before trying complex ones...
From my little experience, people tend to find complex solutions faster than simple ones.
Next time when you face a problem, write down the first solution you find then give urself sometime to find another one...
Last thing, don't search for a problem to test this post, problems will find you wherever you are ;)

ReplyDeleteIs that actually true?
ReplyDeleteI doubt the american scientists could be that stupid belsara7a....
But I agree with the moral of the story :)
I'm not sure, a quick searching and I found this:

Which actually says this story is an urban legend.
It claims that a private company spent $1M to make that pen, and that both Russians and Americans bought it for 6$ each. Moreover, both parties were using pencils before that and were worried about the dust it may cause.
I just used it to prove the point :)
Have a nice day.
