Throughout this past week, we had several articles to
read. After reading them I was left with
some questions. 1. How affect does money
have on ones creativity? 2. How is creativity not supported in the work
environment? 3. What classifies someone as “creative?” 4. How does the Internet
and media affect ones creativity?
These are all inquiry questions. They not only ask a question that ties into
the readings, but they allow you to think at a deeper level. Out of all of these questions my favorite is,
How does the internet and media affect ones creativity?
In this day
in age, there is someone always watching.
We are constantly checking our phones, tablets, and computers for the
latest gossip and news. This really
impacts ones creativity. When someone is
always checking their phone, they don’t have time to just think. When one has the chance to just be alone with
no distractions, they chose not to subconsciously. Its out of habit to check Instagram and
twitter every so often. It is hard to
turn off the outside world to have the time and space to be creative. In the article, “How to Cultivate Eureka
Moments,” it talks about how “being able to step back and view things as an
outsider, or from a slightly different angle, seems to promote creativity.” When people don’t take a step back, they are preoccupied
and aren’t open to random thoughts. They
don’t let their mind wander. Letting
your mind wander with no directions is the key to creativity. Everyone is creative in his or her own way,
they just have to find out how to make it work for them.
