The Creativity Thread

Cause it's not just about the skills, it's having something to
use those skills to say. Talent is meaningless without content.

And I have a fear about 'lack of creativity' from the young
generation that is evolving today. I've heard several
conversations about how today we are becoming dumber. We rely on
the internet, wiki, smartphones, etc to do all our work for us.
There is no thinking.
Yet, I've seen amazing leaps and bounds of innovation and like
to talk about them in our Techie thread. Because I think it's
exciting.
On the other hand, I wonder who is doing the innovations. That's
another discussion.
I think our kids are growing up completely relying on machines
and doing very little thinking and worse, little creativity.
Where will this lead. Where is the drive for people to be
creative? What companies or business will help drive creativity?

That was definitely one of the dryer talks from John Cleese I've
seen. I've heard a lot of what he's said through our companies
initiatives through the years. Some voluntary, some mandatory
gatherings. But nothing really new, unless you had not heard
these studies before.

Well, I never worked for a company that gave two shits about
employee creativity, so I'd never seen this or anything related
to it (I was aware of this venture, though).
It's very strange that we'd seem to be getting dumber now that
we're more connected than ever, you should be able to find just
about anything you'd want to be able to find the second you
think about it, I think the problem is that of everything we can
see and hear, we only see and hear a small amount. This should
be the smartest generation on Earth yet because the minute we
hear of something we don't know about, we can look it up. It's
all at our fingertips. For example, I'm watching The West Wing
and they just mentioned this little lighthouse at the George
Washington Bridge, and I looked it up and saw it for the first
time without even moving. We should be taking total advantage
of that all the time.
I think what we're seeing with the coding and web people is that
they're aware of this and are taking advantage of it. I've been
saying for a long time that a big deal of creativity involves
being aware of the widest array of influences possible. When
you take advantage of the web, you are connected to that, you
can go deeper in the rabbit hole than you ever could before.
