Technology, Creativity and the Mind

Of all the millions of organisms alive on Earth today and that lived in the past, the human species, Homo sapiens, is the only one, as far as the scientists can tell, that is capable of creative thoughts. All of us, every one of us can do it as it is part of our badge of humanity. Indeed, it might be our only true badge of humanity since in no other characteristics are we truly unique and supreme among all species, living or extinct. Creative thought might be the only salvation given the 21st century’s complexities and unsolved issues. Ayse discusses in her book how computers might act as creativity support tools by providing several articles with regard to the mind, creativity and technology in general.
