Intrinsic motivators (Dan Pink video) - ANS Intrinsic Motivation: the desire to do things because it matters. Involves autonomy, mastery, and purpose. More effective than doing business with rewards and punishments. 4 C Creativity - ANS 1. "Little C" or everyday creativity- ex) Come up with your own recipe (everyday examples)
Brainstorming is a tool to come up with ideas and is NOT creative problem solving. Should encompass the three communication methods Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic Convergent Thinking: Used to evaluate and explore ideas, build upon divergent ideas,
โ PPCo- Tools to use for convergent thinking - ANS โ Pulses- Generate the advantages or pulses of the idea โ Potentials- Generate below some positive outcomes or future spin offs that might occur as a result of this โ Concerns- major limitations of the idea โ Overcoming Major Concern: restate concern that is the biggest obstacle, generate ideas to overcome it Role of Knowledge - ANS โ Existing knowledge is framed as the enemy of creativity when in fact all new ideas are made up of old ideas. Successful innovators and artists have vast knowledge which they obtain effortlessly. Without knowledge, including factual knowledge, no one can be creative, knowledge gives curiosity staying power. Knowledge in long term memory is far more useful. Role of education - ANS The role of education is that the school system is educating people out of their capacities and creativity. The main purpose of education is to help students get a degree and teach the "fundamental subjects" such as mathematics rather focus on the arts. The education system doesn't teach students that you can make something out of yourself if you want to be an artist or dancer. Types of curiosity - ANS 1) Diverse- desire for novelty, no particular process, boredom is furiously averted or deferred - its impulsive & irresistible: it seizes us
Flow concept - ANS "Flow state" or "Flow experience"- highly sought after affective state. Those in flow are not conscious of the experience at the moment. Creativity model info - ANS Form a triangle: -Individual: relationship between child and master at young age -Other Person's: relationship between individual and others -Work: relationship between the individual and work/labor Family Father manufactured electrical appliances Love of objects Family were "free thinkers" Olympiad The Olympiad was a special small group of friends. The friends were Maurice Solovine and Conrad Habicht. They pursued a systematic program of reading that included works in philosophy, math, and other scientific texts and met regularly to converse ideas. Education -Progressive canton school in Aarua -Zurich Polytechnic Institute -Studied wide variety of topics- Geography, Politics, Anthropology, Geology, Works of Goethe -Frustrated by formal physics -Self taught on many topics including music -Compulsion to put himself on opposition of conventional wisdom.
Gedanken - ANS gift of envisioning problems and situations of relevance, and carrying out vivid and revealing mental puzzlements. Childhood - ANS Lacked mentor/ sponsor - Dyslexic Imagined and pondered puzzles - Loner Posed Gritty questions - Prodigy Late speaker - Self-taught Influencers - ANS James Clark Maxwell - he influenced Einstein by linking the theories of electricity and magnetism. "Revelation" Information spillover - ANS : is an economic term for an information hub where new ideas quickly spillover and move through the entire population Key inventions - spectacles, microscope, telescope, fiber optics and their impact The Hummingbird Effect - ANS Sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state. Ex. Creation of glass > creation of mirror > self portraits in renaissance area. Creation of glass> creation of writing press> higher literacy rate> realization of far sightedness Think about the butterfly in California and when it flaps it's wings, it causes a hurricane to stir in the Mid-Atlantic (i read this in the book).
Mass production Accurate time created safer global shipping networks supplying raw materials. Times zones - ANS In 1840, Great Britain synced their time to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). In 1883, at St. Louis railroad convention, William Allen proposed a shift from 50 time zones to the 4 distinct time zones Role of quartz - ANS Quartz time new possibility to computation Quartz is less vulnerable to changes in temperature, humidity, and movement. Without the accuracy from the quartz clock, computers would be useless (created microprocessors) The accuracy of quartz exposes the variability of earth's rotation Brought to light the unreliability of the solar system as a measure of time Atomic clock: Faster and more precise than quartz Dennison impact - ANS the watchmaker who make it shipper/cheaper Started mass producing watches and offering at a low price point Made time more important to the general public Guest Speakers - ANS Eric Johnson - Innovative Media
