week eight-technological progress will decrease the creativity of people.

The development of technology brings a lot of convenience. And many of us are addicted to mobile, laptop or social network. The global internet users use average 16 hours per month online. Google and facebook is the first and second most visited web. (Vidyarthi, 2012) More time spend online means less used in the real life. The communication mode from the face to face talking to online talking. The reliable of the internet make internet become more and more important for user. Some original communication mode has change.

 Does technology progress will bring down the creativity? People relay on the electronic product will influence some skills. For example, the calculator has big influence of people’s calculation skill. From this aspect, the technology products reduce the capacity. As Mishra & Koehler (2008) said, “Creative solutions often go beyond mere novelty and functionality to a strong aesthetic quality. (Mishra & Koehler, 2008) However, our focus on creativity may in the physical objects, concept, ideas or theories. The visual result is the best showing of creativity. Technology could not decrease creativity. Especially in the electronic product market, the creativity function is a big attraction to customer. The history of apple products is a good example for this. It is still progress with the technology and attract customer. No improving of product is serious, but technologies have not too much obstruction.

The change of technology may cause people more relay on it. It is hard to say, in some functions, the machine is more reliable than brain. In my own opinion, I think creativity is endless.
