creative process is profoundly altered by changes in technology

Individuals throughout time have had a desire to reach beyond their surrounding intellectual and physical environment and explore new territories. Throughout their lives they have continually acquired knowledge. Technology is the application of this knowledge to solve problems. As the knowledge base of humankind has grown at an exponential rate, the presence of technology has also grown. Today technology has surpassed controls and is moving at a rampant rate of speed permitting the introduction of new levels of knowledge in all different layers of society. This, however, permits the creation and expression of new thoughts without the acquisition of previously required knowledge. Creativity is progressing rapidly without controls and the objects being created are somewhat questionable.
