What these subjects mean

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

design How things should be made and judged: what makes a design good, who should do the designing, and what an interface is for.

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

What Steven Johnson actually said

  1. Steven Johnson Non-fiction writer, podcaster and occasional TV host
    At the most elemental level, that is the goal of a creative work environment: it should help you have ideas that would have never occurred to you.
