Unleashing the Power of Creativity and Intelligence

Creativity and intelligence drive our world. What would our world be without a little creativity and intelligence? Whatever it would be, it would be boring and drab. It is simply astonishing how far these things have taken us in the past decade, let alone the past century. People like Bill Gates have embraced these qualities and channeled them into things like technology, for example. Bill Gates and his company Microsoft were able to take refrigerator-sized computers capable of little more than simple calculations and turned it into something capable of so much more. If it were not for these technological advances I would not be writing this Assertion Journal right now. Computers are not the only fruits of creativity and intelligence, but virtually everything that we take for granted. These things include everything from cellular phones to ipods and cars to airplanes. People with these qualities really have taken technology farther in the past ten years then ever.

  1. I agree that creativity and imagination have helped us succeed in the world and done a great many things, but there is always a darker side to things. Technology has caused many terrible atrocities in the world, both to nature and mankind. Our reckless use of the environment and making machines that further destroy it endanger not only animal lives, but our own lives as well. The Atomic Bomb and the Hydrogen Bomb are great tools of destruction that could take the entire world to oblivion and back again. Our reckless use of the environment and our own ingenuity may very well be the key to our downfall.
