The creative revolution that is changing the world

Abstract

Since the dawn of humanity, we have developed creative technologies, tools that would support externally expressed creations, as ink, carving tools, or sounding objects. Creative technologies have always been the basis for human expressivity: to sustain self-realization, to raise self-esteem, to increase community bonds, and to create a better society. Also understanding technology as “anything useful invented by a mind” (Kelly, What technology wants. Viking Adult, New York, 2010) encompasses an idea of humanity inextricable from technology. Technology sorts solutions for problems, rises our adaptability, and functions as a second skin between the world and ourselves, as an “extended body of ideas” (Kelly, What technology wants. Viking Adult, New York, 2010, p 44). It is part of our culture and of our evolution and is responsible for what we are today.
