Is creativity needed in the world more than ever today?
Creativity drives progress. The human population is now at a time when breakthroughs are not the only factor for success and progress. Breakthroughs now have to be coupled together with creativity, so that the best outcome can be produced. This is because creativity makes breakthroughs valuable, as creativity is basically using resources to create a better outcome. Technology such motion sensors and scientific breakthroughs, for example genetic engineering, show that this statement is true.
Motion sensors have been a commonly used technology for some time now. A company called leap-motion is now cameras that sense hand motions i.e. gestures and by using this motions, they can empower different type of applications (of phones, tablets and computers) which result in a totally different consumer experience. The company's creativity has led to the opening of a different corner of the technology market. We can see that by incorporating creativity with technology, they have created a new market and a lot of revenue for themselves.
