IS INTERNET CURBING CREATIVITY ?

‘Learning gives creativity, creativity leads to thinking, thinking provides knowledge, knowledge makes you great.’

Creativity is the use of imagination or original ideas to create something. All human beings possess creative ideas that can help to make wise decisions. With the advent of the internet, tablets, smart watches, smart phones, and many more gadgets life has become very comfortable for mankind. But as we all know excess of everything is terrible. Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master. The internet is a basic necessity these days. We have easy access to myriad of information. Every answer is a just a one- click away. But what is this easy access to information doing to our creative abilities?

These time saver and alternative techniques are a hindrance     to our originality and expression. Some of the information we find on the internet is not reliable.

  Today, especially the youth, spend prolonged hours scrolling through social media feeds and unnecessary stuff just to flaunt or show off which actually deprives them of engaging in more creative activities. We must not erode our creativity by becoming slaves to these technical devices rather we should keep our mobile phones at arm’s length, be resourceful, look at the world through fresh eyes by being observant and drawing our own conclusions for a reliable learning experience.
