Question

11. Read the text. Are the sentences true (T) or false (F)?

When was the last time you did something creative? It may always have been the case that the majority of the population is not involved in the creative process most of the time. The other argument is that we are losing our creativity as a result of having everything handed to us on a plate. Technology has made it easier to deal with everyday problems and tasks without having to put much brain power to use. With the arrival of artificial intelligence this trend is sure to deepen. It is only natural to want to simplify or streamline routine chores – this is what humans have been doing for centuries as they develop and learn. So, what can we do to stimulate our creativity? The simplest step is probably to force ourselves to think issues through before looking for a quick answer on the internet. This triggers certain areas of the brain and keeps us alert and pro-active. Considering the ‘why?’ of a particular issue rather than the ‘what?’ is much more beneficial for our thought processes. Unfortunately, many systems of education still focus on learning by endless repetition and assessment. In a world where we can find the answer to practically any question you can think of in just a few seconds, taking time to think through the ‘why?’ is an unnecessary effort fewer and fewer people are willing to make.

1. Nowadays, people often get the chance to prove they are creative.
