Drawn from what Ming Thein said

What these subjects mean

curiosity Wanting to know for its own sake: what it does for good work, learning, creativity and a long life, and what happens to it with age.

creativity Making something new: where ideas come from, what conditions let them come, and whether a machine can have them.

innovation Where new things come from and how they spread: invention against diffusion, and being near the factory floor.

Where does creativity come from?under our view: Nothing is made from nothing: new ideas are old pieces brought together Why is curiosity important?under our view: Knowledge is cheap; curiosity is the scarce part, and machines do not have it yet

What Ming Thein actually said

  1. Ming Thein Photographer and writer based in Malaysia who publishes long-form camera
    I believe creativity is really two parts: curiosity and the ability to not just ask "what if?", but also use some foresight to imagine the potential outcome.
