Coincidental with how to have imagination is becoming more and more important is the big bang of the knowledge.  I think that in most professions and academic fields, imagination is more important than knowledge.       If there is only knowledge without imagination, the result is very heavy. For example, there is the huge difference between the Chinese students and American students. The course is different. The Chinese students jump the emotional realization into the rational realization even into the knowledge. This course loses one thing which is called imagination and is also called the ability of cultivation. That is why China does not have its Intel and Microsoft. Someone says the Chinese environment is bad because copying other ideas is very heavy. Even if the environment becomes good, China has no person like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs because this educational institution does not produce this talent. This is the result of only having the knowledge without imagination.     It is useless for a person to only have the imagination and store no knowledge. Because the imagination can not  become the truth. If Steve Jobs does not have the rich knowledge, even several hundred times as much knowledge as the common people, the apple computer and the apple company will never appear.  In a fact, Steve Jobs was interested in the electricity when he was a boy. And he lived in the Silicon Valley- engineers are all in this place. As he contracted with these people, his interesting was growing. When he was in the middle school, he attended a club in which they were all young and love electricity. Furthermore, this increases his knowledge. So one person does not only have imagination without knowledge.       The imagination is much more important in the uncommon status. For example, when A attended the interview of the Japanese Army University, he was asked that how to use the machine gun. In fact, everyone knows the answer to this question is that put the machine gun on the ground and use it to shoot the enemy. It is obvious not the answer that the interviewer wants. He wanted to find a different answer. In this interview, all of the questions appear simple but they are not simple because at this time the knowledge was the minor factor and the imagination became the main factor.  The A's answer put the machine gun on the plane to shoot at the soldier on the ground. At that time, plane was invented for a little time. His answer conquered the interviewer. He carried the sorrow and go to the Japanese Army University for study.       Although knowledge is more important than imagination at some time, I think that in most professions and academic fields, imagination is more important than knowledge.
