The PC is dead along live the tablet!

As we can see in our generation, every electronic device is smaller than it's previous. like computers, people used to sit in front of this big white box screen that they share with the whole family, and do there thing with it.
As Technology moved on and on, computer screens got thiner and thiner, HD and plasma screens, full of colors and sharp. Laptops, notebooks, going smaller and thinner,On 2010 apple released the first tablet ( 1st generation). A touch screen, just a screen, combining what a mobile and a PC can do. Games, all kind of apps and many many utilities. with this breakthrough invention, people left their PC's and started using these tablets, weather you are a teacher, doctor, student and even a baby! you can use the tablet. The companies that manufactures these portable devices, thinks that by 2016, the computers will be replaced by the tablets in most companies. “In 2016, two-thirds of the mobile workforce will own a smartphone, and 40 per cent of the workforce will be mobile,” said Carolina Milanesi, research vice president at Gartner.

inventions and innovations 2

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-20071644

This link is from the BBC news magazine article talking about some Australian great inventions by Phill Mercer.

After reading this article, i realized that inspiration come from many things, and many ways, like tragedies ! or even a beach vacations! like Dr Graeme Clark who was inspired by a seashell and invented the cochlear implant, and with that invention he changed the life's thousands of people with hearing disabilities.


Dr Graeme Clark



So what is creativity? and how to be creative and innovative?
there is many definitions for those two words, and best and closest meaning for them is to create something acceptable and useful socially.


Dr Ali Alhammadi

 There is also another definition from Dr Ali Alhammadi from his book ''سلسة الابداع" (the chain of creativity), ''creativity is a combination of flexible science fiction, to develop and old idea, or to find a new one, no matter how small the idea is, an unfamiliar result comes out of it, that can be applied and used.


people thinks that a human is born creative, and being innovative is limited on experts and scientist! which is not true, it's an art that can be learned and practiced by any person, except those who don't believe in them selves.

Creative and innovative people always look for ways and alternative solutions and never stay on one solution, they have strong will and patience, clear goals, ignorant for the bad comments and criticism, always positive and optimistic, and the most important thing is that they are not afraid of failure! All those qualities are acquired while growing up, it does not come with a package when you are born.

Here is some videos i saw through youtub-ing about creativity:

Creativity and DIFFERENT:
Creative thinkers must think of a new and exciting ways to grap people's attention everyday. like the video above, these guys found a way to make more people use the stairs instead of the electrical stairs because its fun! and it is something new.

Creativity and TIME:
i loved what they did here, approving that creativity needs time, the more time you spend on a work, the better it turns to be!

Creativity and PASSION:

This video too, sometimes we need something to motivate us, to produce such an art work for someone that we really care about.

_____________________

Thinking reversely, Thinking Upside down
How can we be innovative? we think creatively, we think backwards! turning what we see in our lives up side down to get new ideas. In education for instance, students go to school to learn, and when you reverse it you say school comes to students, and that what happened nowadays due to the evolution of internet and education and its availability in every house.

____________________

Imagine
imagine that you became the education minister, what is the first thing you would do? imagine that you live under water, how could you survive and how is you life going to be? always carry on a note book and write any idea u get!


and the most important thing is to keep in mind that everything is POSSIBLE.

The Ted Talk. Sir Ken Robinson: do schools kill creativity?




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG9CE55wbtY

After watching the ted talk, sir Ken Robinson: school kills creativity, it inspired me to peruse my dream and improve what i'm good at no matter what people think of it. As long as i want it so bad, i should work on making it real!
and about the school part, he is right in every word he said, students now feel forced to learn, there is not any encouragement or motivation to learn, they just have to attend the classes and fall a sleep because of the boring methods of teaching! the teacher comes in, writes half of the lesson on the bored with starting any discussion with the students to make them think and have fun in class.
Talents now days are considered as waste of time and the person should be focusing on education only! that killed a lot of talents and creativity, making life plain and boring without anything to add some spice and sparkle to it.

words associated with creativity

creativity is made with two words, create and activity
the opposite of create is destroy.
so the opposite of creativity is destructively.

Creativity is defined as :
1- (NEW) generate new ideas and thoughts
2- (UNIQUE) creating something unique
3- ( DIFFERENT) think differently
4- ( PASSIONATE) motivate feelings and expressions 
5- (ORIGINAL) make your work one and only!


Creativity is bringing new ideas on the table, thinking out side the box. it's combining beauty and science, it's originality!
being creative means you have to produce useful and unique thoughts, different ways and steps. work hard to make it real, try to find the problems in your object of creativity and get its solutions. It's like drawing a paint, imagining how it's going to be, start drawing it, look for what colors to apply on the canvas and giving the final touches that will make it look better.



words not associated to creativity:
1- PLAIN. something not more than the usual.
2- BORING. makes you look away fast and never pulls u towards it.
3- REPETITIVE . something you see daily.
