What is creativity?
"Creativity (or "creativeness") is a mental process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts."
(Taken from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creativity)
From my research, there are more than one definition about creativity. Such as:
"Being creative is seeing the same thing as everybody else but thinking of something different"
(http://members.optusnet.com.au/~charles57/Creative/Basics/definitions.htm)
“Creativity is divergent thought for imagining things and several solutions."
(http://www.mind-graph.net/foundations/psychological/creativity.htm)
For example, Gutenberg took the wine press and the die/punch and produced a printing press.
He used existing objects and combine them into to a brand new things for new purpose.
From here we can know that creativity is the ability to generate new ideas and solutions to solve problems.
