Historical Examination of Creativity (Serious Mode Activate)

(WEEK 4)
   Hej igen~! To another creative blog session with MZbS.

   Today is a little history class. No... It won't be history like the WEEK 3 PC and Tablet. It far much worst.

   Just kidding, today is a history of creativity in the world. More like this blog tells of the examination of creativity though the times from the beginning of man stepping on the land to the present of where man weights more than 300 pounds and are too lazy to walk.

   Let's begin the history class!

1. The First Ever Invention of Creativeness!

   Did you know that the first ever invention was...

-Stone tool
-Wheels
-Hammer
-etc.

   Actually, no one knows what the real actual first invention in the world. It could be Stone Tools which was discover to be million years old or the Wheel which was also discover to be a million years ago.

   But, have you ever wonder on how they were able to make such crafts? Simple, creativity. Back when dinosaur was still hang around the water place, these primitive version of man (Caveman) was able to 'Process' creative ideas and invent things that helps them to survive in such dangerous 'Environment' due to the existence of dinosaur.

   Even though their language was just "UWAKGAGAURA" or "MIGUHUAWA" (p/s: these are real caveman language) that makes no sense and not what on how they actually sound like back then, they are still able to create something creatively. And such as these invention are, they possess 'Traits' in which that helps the mankind today.

Stone Tool. Believe to be more than 2.4 million years old.

   Give credit to them, if it wasn't for them we would not have the Wheel or Tools. Most probably not though but still it's something creative back then.

2.  Between the Past and Present

   This part is extremely long and time consuming to to type in. So to make it easier for me to do it and you to not be burden by the long text that actually I planned for this part, I only choose only one period which is the Islamic period.

   What makes this period an examination of creativity? Well first of all, why I choose this specific period is because that this one is not that known by the society today. And it's kind of unfair due to there were a lot of events during this time that deserve the a little bit attention when speaking of examining of creativity in history.
 
   There are a lot of individual you don't know such as Al-Jazari, Al-Khwarizmi, Abbas Ibn Firnas, and many more! These individual effected the modern society and a lot of people doesn't realize  about it.

Al-Jazari, the dude made an elephant clock! An elephant clock!

   

   The whole Islamic period is something worth in the history books. From their highly creativity in making a new culture to heir religion, art, architecture, science and literature. Too bad that the sole reason that this period was decline is because of their desire to recapture of the golden age of the earlier Islamic period which did not go so well.

   They are so many thing that no one knows during the Islamic period. There were many creative ideas and invention as well as uniqueness is their culture and etc.

3. Overview

   History has shown that the human creativity is unlimited. As the earlier days where mankind began to the highly cultured Islamic period and to the present and beyond. 


   These extraordinary times are the roots of how we live today. The 'Process' of generating idea during that time were all effected with the 'Environment' on which they have to adapt to. And to do so, they generate ideas and inventions to fulfill the 'Traits' by learning from others and use as a reference. needed to continue on with their lives


   That's how the Islamic period got it done creatively. Heck, that's how all the time periods did it.

Don't be ignorant, learn from others. Knowledge is infinite.

   Look like we reach the end of this post.


   It was a very tiring topic but rewarding. Hope you, as the reader will learn a little more on the history of creativeness. Even if it's just a little, it still matters.
