What is Brainstorming?

"Brainstorming is a husky, lusty young man with lots of drive. He will survive and produce dozens of new ideas under the most adverse conditions. He will break out of the chains of convention, conservatism, and just plain sluggishness. He can spark new ideas in every sort of area, in churches and laboratories, executive suites and machinist shops. He is an extremely hardy young animal. But there is one way to kill him. That is to fit him to a strait jacket."
