What is creativity... what is innovation? How are they different? I question that Vincent B is dealing with. What do you think is the difference... (hint hint leave a comment!)
hope you're all having a good summer!

“Remember before the internet?” asks Joi Ito. “Remember when people used to try to predict the future?” In this engaging talk, the head of the MIT Media Lab skips the future predictions and instead shares a new approach to creating in the moment: building quickly and improving constantly, without waiting for permission or for proof that you have the right idea. This kind of bottom-up innovation is seen in the most fascinating, futuristic projects emerging today, and it starts, he says, with being open and alert to what’s going on around you right now. Don’t be a futurist, he suggests: be a now-ist."'via Blog this'
It's a good talk! I had not had the opportunity to watch it yet, thanks for the tip. There's a bit of material to answer this question on my website though, http://creativitprojecttelecom.weebly.com/ for those who wouldn't know.
ReplyDeleteI feel like it's more an issue of doing something from scratch - of course nothing's from scratch - or improving a pre-existing solution. It sounds pretty different to me but I reckon the barrier is shallow most of the time!
I'll talk a bit more about this question in the upcoming essay!
