Most likely if someone is given the freedom to be curious it will result in creative ideas, inventions, and more! I do believe both should be promoted, for sure.<br /><br />Agree that education is one area that either promotes or reduces creativity in people. I plan to write a post on education in the future. I think to successfully improve the future, multiple areas need to be influenced to truly promote curiosity and creativity. Imagine this scenario...a parent lacks creative motivation as a child, later the company he/she works for encourages it. This parent will hopefully further promote it to their children. Also, government influences the budget and curriculum of schools. Additionally, I believe media has a global influence on people.<br /><br />I view it as a large interconnected web. To promote change, the most influential nodes should be improved.Mario Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10761886767263971162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3377974378454096474.post-23061356147816783232015-01-26T10:12:50.803+01:002015-01-26T10:12:50.803+01:00You mention curiosity, I would like to emphasize c...You mention curiosity, I would like to emphasize creativity! Exactly the open source software and 3D printers are good examples of promoting creativity, which i find encouraging, among other things of course.<br /><br />But this is all mostly on the personal level, more than on either a corporate level or even government level (I'm thinking of the education system). Many people I believe are taught, or discouraged, from their creativity and put at an early age in an education framework which only values grades and arbitrary achievements that change from year to year anyways and are arguably important, rather than promoting or even keeping the same level of creativity that a child can exhibit. Only few keep or even nurture that creativity.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03538104875160986570noreply@blogger.com
