POST #3 - CREATIVITY ARTICLE AND ITS SUMMARY - GRQ

I think it's interesting that people believe that as a society, the internet creates problems and doesn't help us be creative in the world of art/filmmaking, etc. Personally, we can't escape it and have to embrace it. Originality truly doesn't exist, I don't think, because as Cuero says, we have to look back at nature for inspiration. Is that originality? I don't think so. However, its also interesting that we as humans continue to go back to history and use it to our advantage, so to some extent it is useful. 

The article also explains that creativity which involves both brainstorming new ideas and evaluating them after.  Researchers studied how the brain works during creative thinking and found that more creative people have stronger connections between three brain networks: “The “default”, salience, and executive networks. “ - this basically means one is for daydreaming, one for focusing, and one that switches between those two. These connections help creative people think in ways others might not. Let’s say a thinker who doesn’t engage in being spontaneous,, questioning, engaging and acting upon it. This lets creative people reach boundaries that others might not even think about; it’s all about experimenting almost. The study suggests that creative brains are wired differently, but it's unclear if these connections can be strengthened with practice. The article also states, the results match recent brain studies of artists, like jazz musicians improvising throughout their performance, poets writing, and visual artists.
