"BS World Documentary "The Impossible Project: The Man Who Revived Instant Film"
I watched the program.
I enjoyed it, rather I feel happy.

I am self-conscious that I have spent half my life on the cutting edge of digital tech.
(It is a bit of exaggeration, but in general, I don't think it's wrong)
Therefore, I know that we should not say that "digital is superiors to analog at any case"
That's aside.

Recently many companies are trying t make "co-creation space" to "enhance creativity".
I could not find the reports that show the effectiveness of "creativity" from objective viewpoint using numbers, however, some people seem to like to work in these fashionable space.
On the other hand, speaking of me, I have never been able to think of a patent story among the "vividly colored walls," "oddly shaped (unstable) chairs," "many friends," and "the smell of coffee.
Rather, they are always "obstacles" for my patent work.
In my case, my creativities go to the peak when I am alone in the "dark", "cold", "small" room, facing a whiteboard.
I don't think that there are many people who have applied more than 100 patent applications( including "divided" or "priority by Paris treaty") to the patent office, like me.
Therefore, the effectiveness of the "Co-Creation Space" may vary greatly from person to person, or I may be an exceptionally "weird guy".
Well, if a company insist that "dark, cold, small, sepia-colored laboratory" is a "co-creation space", the company's image will be in ruin. So I think that I have to understand the background of the company.

Recently, I have opened about a DIY whiteboard.
The most useful item in my research engineer's life, has been "whiteboard"
It is not PC, smartphone, printer, and scanner. Moreover, even my competent colleagues cannot exceed "whiteboard"
"Whiteboard" is a common tool to share knowledges in brain storming, however in my case, it is a tool to "fight me".
In short, some of analog are the strongest tools for me still now.
