   I mentioned</A>
James Webb Young's <EM>A Technique for Producing Ideas</EM>.
It turns out that Young was in advertising.  He writes:

<BLOCKQUOTE><EM>
The construction of an advertisement is the construction of
a new pattern in this kaleidoscopic world in which we live.
The more of the elements of that world which are stored
away in that pattern-making machine, the mind, the more the
chances are increased for the production of new and
striking combinations, or ideas.  Advertising students who
get restless about the "practical" value of general college
subjects might consider this.

Computer Science students, too.
