Explanation:
Copying And Lack Of Originality Is Rife
You can access basically anything you like online. There are templates for everything and even academic information is available all over the internet, resulting in more piracy and allegedly, less creative thought when it comes to academic settings.
Smashing Magazine wrote about the disappearance of creativity in web design and development. They speak of templates, The Grid and “rules” about web design inhibiting creative design. The author concludes that technology is killing creativity to a certain extent, but it’s not dead. It’s becoming the battle of machine vs. man, where man can win based on imagination (if we’re willing to nurture it).
It’s Killing Our Content
Lack of originality is one thing with content, but technology is also accused of promoting lazy communication and diminishing our creativity in that area. Check out what The Guardian has to say:
“In fact, the web has done a great deal to kill people’s creativity. From the use of emoji in lieu of words, to the proliferation of pre-determined functions to express our views – liking, sharing, and, in some cases, disliking. These new universals of human interaction promote efficient – but lazy – behaviours so that we can devote more time to consuming more content.”
Creativity Scores Are Dropping
Newsweek reported on the findings of a recent study that indicated that while intelligence scores have steadily risen, creativity scores have been declining since 1990. The implications of this are sweeping as they say:
“The necessity of human ingenuity is undisputed. A recent IBM poll of 1,500 CEOs identified creativity as the No. 1 “leadership competency” of the future. Yet it’s not just about sustaining our nation’s economic growth. All around us are matters of national and international importance that are crying out for creative solutions…”
While they haven’t yet conclusively determined what is behind the score drop, they did have this to say with regard to technology:
“One likely culprit is the number of hours kids now spend in front of the TV and playing video games rather than engaging in creative activities.”
Technology Is Enhancing Creativity
Ok, we can’t really argue that technology has facilitated a glut of copycat content, killed conversation (even at dinner!) and provided a constant source of entertainment where otherwise boredom may prompt creative thought. Is there a case for technology enhancing creativity?
Information Doesn’t End Creativity
Even with all the data we have available and the content already out there, we still need innovation and creativity to know what to do with it. Technological innovations themselves require creative thought to get them going, otherwise how would we end up with Google, Uber or Air BnB?
Another example lies in marketing; we have all kinds of “big data” available to make narrowing down a market much more accurate than it was previously, yet even if you identify a new market or segment, you’re going to have to be innovative about how you capture them.
Technology Can Help Nurture Creative Talent
Technology has expanded the boundaries of what’s possible with creative pursuits such as movie-making, music and graphic design. This has provided more scope for creativity, possibly even invited more participants to join in.
Look at YouTube videos or even content on Instagram – these are accessible platforms that allow anyone to participate and create.
For professionals, look at examples such as CGI in movies or tools created to make graphic design more accessible, the online platforms to promote that content. That accessibility runs across the gamut of creative pursuits. Prior to the internet, the public may have only been exposed to those deemed by “experts” to have creative prowess. With the internet, the curtain is lifted and more people are discovered online every day. Artists like Bach and Van Gogh were not famous in their own lifetimes, whereas if they were alive today, the chances are they would be well-known.
Does this exposure help overall creativity? Well, it certainly helps to spark ideas in others and to expose them to more avenues for mentoring, training and creative growth themselves.
As The Guardian puts it: “technology deserves some credit for lifting the institutional and bureaucratic barriers that often limit creative talent.”
