www.phl458edu.com   Week 2 DQ 1   Looking over a
list of the worlds inventions is in itself a
good reminder that we each stand on the
shoulders of those who have gone before us. It
also brings to mind the fact that we take a lot
for granted. Doing this exercise we may even come
to think that all the worlds inventions are
already here and in use. What an interesting
creativity-blocker that could be! Then delving
into the mind of any inventor exposes us to the
very creative process itself, to the ways
critical thinking shaped original ideas, and to
the interesting steps that brought an innovative
idea to market. Even the naming of an invention
can in itself invite us into the creative process!
