Humans are just simply creative.

As we hurry through our day using numerous technological devices and trying to do a million things at one time, are we losing the ability to think creatively? The freedom to be creative in today’s world is sometimes a luxury. We all have deadlines, quotas and obligations that often keep us from having time to just “think”. The time to think about new ideas and come up with new solutions to old problems. My argument was that with each technological advancement, each time we were able to do something easier, faster, and “better”….we became less creative. I learned that some technology does indeed change the way we think, just as we have learned in this class, and from reading the shallows… our brain is easily changed. On the other hand, this technology wouldn’t even exist if our creative minds didn’t imagine it in the first place. My conclusion is that sometimes it’s creativity going in vs. creativity coming out, but in some form the creativity is always there.
