Remembering Steve Jobs

A true visionary, innovator and creative. He will be missed.

“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes … the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. … You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things. … They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

- Steve Jobs

iPhone 4S

The new iPhone 4S has:

  • the Siri talking assistant feature
  • an enhanced camera
  • a much faster processor
  • the ability to support GSM and CDMA

But, I’m going to wait for the next iPhone (hopefully iPhone 5) before upgrading. =\

Why We Reject Creative Ideas

We all agree that creativity is highly valuable, but why is that we’re still resistant to creative ideas? The news site ScienceDaily explains some interesting findings.

Based on the experiments at the University of Pennsylvania:

  • Creative ideas are by definition novel, and novelty can trigger feelings of uncertainty that make most people uncomfortable.
  • People dismiss creative ideas in favor of ideas that are purely practical — tried and true.
  • Objective evidence shoring up the validity of a creative proposal does not motivate people to accept it.
  • Anti-creativity bias is so subtle that people are unaware of it, which can interfere with their ability to recognize a creative idea.
