C&D thinking


We have to do  mindmap in mindomo with the topic "What is a computer?".When you make a mindmap, you have to think in to differents tipe of question:
Divergent 
Popular in inquiry education, divergent questions allow students to explore different avenues and create many different variations and alternative answers or scenarios. Correctness may be based on logical projections, may be contextual, or arrived at through basic knowledge, conjecture, inference, projection, creation, intuition, or imagination. These types of questions often require students to analyze, synthesize, or evaluate a knowledge base and then project or predict different outcomes.
A simple example of a divergent question is:
Write down as many different uses as you can think of for the following objects: (1) a brick, (2) a blanket.

Convergent 
Is the question that takes you to one answer. A really basic way of thinking. Convergent thinking is a term coined by Joy Paul Guilford as the opposite of divergent thinking. It generally means the ability to give the "correct" answer to standard questions that do not require significant creativity, for instance in most tasks in school and on standardized multiple-choice tests for intelligence.
A good example would be:
What does a horse eat?
