Creativity and Innovation - Science topic

Colleges and universities, as part of their teaching and research activities, research work carried out, adaptation of curricula to the changing realities of the modern economy, support for students in terms of cooperation with potential employers, institutions that may be the subject of written theses, support for the development of innovative startups founded by students, performance of research and analytical commissioned work, establishment of cooperation clusters, development of reports on the development of selected spheres, branches, problems of the modern economy, civilization, etc., undertake cooperation with various economic entities and public institutions. Such developed cooperation between universities and other entities, enterprises, companies, financial institutions and public institutions, cultural institutions, etc., can significantly contribute to increasing innovation in the economy. A key issue is to involve students in the development of such cooperation. Improving the aforementioned cooperation can and should result in better adaptation of the research work carried out at universities to the increasingly rapidly changing trends in the economy. The implementation of new ICT, Internet and Industry 4.0/5.0 information technologies, including generative artificial intelligence technology into universities should foster the development of such cooperation.

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

The future of wearable technologies is likely to see several innovative advancements that can enhance their functionality, usability, and impact on various aspects of our lives.

For Example:

The Ai Pin, as the device is called, is designed to be worn on clothing and can be tapped to talk to a virtual assistant powered by technologies from ChatGPT-creator OpenAI and cloud computing power from Microsoft (MSFT.O). It uses a laser projection system to display text and monochromatic images on a user's hand.

Provide the theses / references on Influence of organizational culture on innovation referring to any sector.

List out the relevant factors influencing innovation.

What are the scenarios that define innovation?

The 45,000-Year-Old Pig Painting in Indonesia may be the oldest known "Art" representation [1]. The first known use of "State Of The Art" was in 1910, from an engineering manual by Henry Harrison Suplee (1856-) and later became widespread and frequently used to characterize the "cutting edge" or "newest" version of a device, technology, or theory. While “Art” embodies the idea of imagination and creativity, “State Of The Art” refers to innovation and progress. This gives intuition that "State Of The Art" is bounded, unlike "Art" which is limitless. The same goes for Knowledge, except this one involves a temporal component. All contributions on the topic are welcome!

In my opinion, it makes sense to create a new generation of something similar to ChatGPT, which will use databases built exclusively on the basis of continuously updated data, information, objectively verified knowledge resources, and which will use exclusively those Internet databases, knowledge bases, portals and websites that individual Internet users themselves will select, define, define. This kind of solution, which would allow personalization of the functionality of such generative artificial intelligence systems, would significantly increase its functionality for individual users, Internet users, citizens. In addition, the scale of innovative solutions for practical applications of such personalized intelligent systems for analyzing content and data contained in selected specific Internet resources would increase significantly.

Since the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic, many governments and private organizations allocated large sums of money to fund projects dealing with various areas related to this virus. The vaccine is the most prominent area but detection, caring and monitoring of the patients revealed that the current medical equipment is not adequate and sufficient. Are these funding going to lead to invention or innovation? have you seen any report of innovation in medical technology in your community?

I am looking for researchers dealing with Management Aesthetics, Art Management, or Management Art. Fields of interest: publications and projects.

New ideas, new concepts in science and art arise as a result of human creativity, innovation, emotional intelligence, the need for self-realization, the need to be appreciated by other people.

These are the values at the very top of Maslov's pyramid. Human higher needs arose through the evolution of human consciousness and intelligence under conditions of multi-generational development of sociobiological and psychosocial determinants.

On the other hand, artificial intelligence is being developed, which will probably be used in various fields of technological information services, including multi-criteria, based on complex data processing algorithms.

In view of the above, the current question is: Can innovations be or can be created by artificial intelligence or only by man?

Please, answer, comments.

It used to be that people remembered the tel numbers of people they called frequently. Nowadays, tel no.'s are entered into smartphones and do not need to be remembered. Various online information services are available on smartphones and we are using them more and more. In many countries, taxi drivers are increasingly using GPS navigation and no longer have to pass an exam to know the topography and the names of all the streets in a city. Technology is increasingly relieving people of various tasks and the need to remember a lot of data. On the other hand, threats are emerging in the form of the generation of disinformation on online social media by posting pictures and videos showing 'fictitious facts' created by artificial intelligence. As deepfake is now recognised as one of the greatest threats arising from artificial intelligence applications, so it is urgently necessary to create legal regulations that regulate the proper use of artificial intelligence-based tools, including respect for copyright, when artificial intelligence creates new works, texts, graphics, etc. using various publications taken from Internet resources. How much the development of artificial intelligence and its applications will change labour markets in the future is suggested by the results of predictive and futurological analyses, according to which up to half of human jobs globally could disappear by 2050. On the other hand, surveys of a number of companies and enterprises show that over the next few years, the majority of businesses plan to carry out investment processes involving the implementation of new Industry 4.0 technologies, including artificial intelligence, into their operations. Predictive analyses and futurological visions created on their basis show that with the technological progress, along with the emergence of successive generations of artificial intelligence, more and more perfect artificial intelligence systems will be created in the next few years. In addition to this, a tool is already available on the Internet in the form of an intelligent language model based on generative artificial intelligence, which, by generating answers to questions, creates texts in an automated way, based on knowledge resources taken from a large number of Internet sites, Internet article databases, Internet book libraries, etc. On the other hand, a kind of ChatGPT creativity is not yet applied perfected, because within this creativity, "fictitious facts", i.e. nicely described events that never happened, may be described by ChatGPT in the created texts. Arguably, these imperfections in the next generations of this tool and in other ChatGPT-like intelligent, automated, digital chatbots created by subsequent technology companies will be corrected. When they are corrected, it will then become increasingly common for people to use such tools made available on the Internet by commissioning artificial intelligence to write specific texts, which will be created by the artificial intelligence in an increasingly creative manner and successively making fewer and fewer mistakes in this creative process. Consequently, humans will commission more and more complex tasks for the artificial intelligence to perform and increasingly require the use of creativity, innovation, artistry, etc. Thus, there may be another threat to humanity which may be the abandonment of performing creative activities when these activities can be performed by artificial intelligence. Thus, a new category of threat to humanity may emerge from the technological advances made by artificial intelligence. It may therefore happen in the future that the development of artificial intelligence is a threat to people's creative and critical thinking.

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

On the one hand, artificial intelligence technology is developing rapidly due to emerging new applications and dynamic technological advances. The very conception, definition and development of artificial intelligence on the basis of the third technological revolution already started several decades emu. However, the significant acceleration of the development of various solutions and applications of artificial intelligence in the context of the current fourth technological revolution has occurred over the last few years. In contrast, a significant increase in public interest in this issue has occurred in the last few months, i.e. since November 2022, when the company OpenAI made available in open access to Internet users an artificial intelligence built in the formulation of a generative language model as ChatGPT, i.e. an automated chat that learns and improves itself based on the answers given to Internet users who ask questions in relation to this system. Many citizens, through a kind of conversation with ChatGPT, i.e. a conversation with an artificial intelligence, began to experience something that could be compared to what they saw many years ago in, for example, Stanley Kubrick's 1968 Oscar-winning science fiction film '2001: A Space Odyssey'. The film's plot was inspired by the novel by Arthur C. Clarke.

However, this development also generates potential risks and dangers of inappropriate application of as much advanced artificial intelligence technology. An example is the already developing disinformation in the new online media, including mainly social media, generated by the creation and posting in these media of texts, photos, films created by artificial intelligence, which look as if they were created by a human being and present a kind of "fictitious facts", i.e. very credibly and precisely depict, describe events that in reality never happened. And what if, as part of the technological advances taking place, artificial intelligence is taught the thought processes typical of humans? What if something that could be described as artificial consciousness is created? What if, as part of the aforementioned thought processes carried out by artificial intelligence enriched with artificial consciousness, autonomous, thinking robots are created that acquire characteristics hitherto considered typical only of humans? What if these are also features of the human psyche, and which artificial intelligence could use as a tool for self-improvement, to escape human control? Would then a scenario like the one we know from the Terminator series of films, in which the main character is an autonomous, intelligent robot played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, be possible? Is it possible that highly intelligent machines, which humans will teach to think and equip with what will be described as artificial consciousness, will completely spin out of control and turn against their creator, i.e. humans? for the moment, these are questions that inspire paraphilosophical considerations. But it cannot be ruled out that soon these questions could be more substantively justified.

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

As you know , Innovation plays a key role in introducing novelty to existing product lines or processes, leading to increased market share, revenue, and customer satisfaction. Sometimes innovation is used to upgrade the operating systems of the business or to introduce modern technologies for automation. i need your support to share your inputs about technology innovation in telecom with operating model , ecosystem , partnerships and ways of innovation.

It is a widely held opinion that creativity and innovation is important in various aspects of people's lives, in many different spheres of human activity.

Creativity and innovation is also important in many spheres of professional activities carried out in different sectors of the economy, in different professional positions and professions of work performed. In addition, creativity and innovation is particularly important in the arts, in the creation of works of art within various fields of art. Creativity and innovation is, in its essence, a key factor in the arts. Creativity and innovativeness is also important in business, in the management of business entities, in the establishment of startups, in the creation of new technological solutions, new technologies, product and other innovations, in the creation of inventions, and so on.

As part of the rapid technological progress that is taking place, new technological solutions, innovations and patents are being developed for use in various sectors of the economy and are improving manufacturing, production and service processes. On the other hand, due to the progressing process of global warming, the growing scale of natural resources consumption, the necessity to accelerate the processes of achieving the goals of sustainable development, the processes of green transformation of the economy, achieving the goals of environmental and climate policy, increasing the scale of protection of the planet's biosphere, biodiversity and climate, the demand for new eco-innovations and green technologies is growing. In the situation of combining new information technologies and Industry 4.0 with eco-innovations and green technologies, new opportunities arise for the application of new integrated, complex technological solutions and for increasing the effectiveness of the implementation of sustainable development goals and carrying out processes of green transformation of the economy, including the green transformation of the energy sector. The green transformation of the energy sector is mainly implemented through the development of renewable and emission-free energy sources. In addition, as part of the implementation of the plan to create a zero-carbon economy, it is also necessary to carry out a green transformation of the transport sector and this in all transport segments, i.e. land, water and air transport. As part of the green transformation of the air transport sector, new technological solutions are being developed to enable the use of engines to power aircraft based on solar energy or generated by burning hydrogen in oxygen. The future of powering large transport, passenger and space aircraft is hydrogen power. On the other hand, increasingly large drones are also being built, which are currently powered by electric motors that draw on electricity stored in batteries that need to be recharged. However, this may change in the future. With the combination of new technologies already being developed and tested in aviation, it will be possible to build, for example, large personal drones powered by hydrogen engines and controlled by artificial intelligence, so that they can be flown using autonomous automatic control, i.e. autopilot. In a hydrogen-powered situation, these would also be fully zero-emission, pro-climate and pro-environmental aircraft that could fly at low altitudes. This would greatly facilitate local transport over non-long distances, both passenger and freight. Such improvements in local air transport would be particularly important in areas where there are no airports, where there is no well-developed second-hand network and where, at the same time, people live in settlements far from large cities, in remote villages and small towns and in areas of strict nature conservation without the possibility of using vehicles with combustion engines.

Why is the current research seemingly lacking novelty and having low average citation index? Are there any standardized post publication indicators of scoring the conceptual creativity of a researcher and monitoring the contribution of published research towards solving the existing problem(s)?

Many new eco-innovations and green technologies have still not left the research laboratories, they are still in the research and testing, prototype phase. The current energy crisis should motivate both government agencies of ministries managing the energy sector and commercially operating companies and enterprises in the energy sector to subsidise the ongoing research work, conducted in research and development institutions on the creation and industrial-scale implementation of new eco-innovations and green energy technologies. The current energy crisis is characterised by rapidly rising fuel and energy prices and the increasing scale of energy shortages. In some countries, the government is offering subsidies for the purchase of more expensive fuels and energy. However, this creates another pro-inflationary factor. Another and perhaps more sensible solution to support citizens and businesses to survive the energy crisis would be to increase subsidies to R&D and scientific institutions in whose laboratories new eco-innovations and energy technologies are developed. This raises the question of what kind of new eco-innovations and green energy and other technologies being created now, what kind of R&D should be subsidised now?

This discussion is to discuss ideas and possible ways in which people's understanding of the human mind in any way could be applied to the current methods used to create this technology. Any and all people are able to respond, but please be respectful in how it is done.

Our scape is currently overwhelmed with physical structures that act as obstructive forces towards humanity-oriented progress. The globalised format of our cities has dominated its roots on other aspects of architecture, including education. Hence, in some schools, architectural education follows this emerging imagery of the market, and not the other way around. This has led to a critical phenomenon of poor development of architectural pedagogy, i.e. lack of individual and collective creativity.

Do you think that architectural schools should shift its methodology towards not building anymore? Should they focus more on creating open spaces and flexible structures?

With much of the energy industry operating on the basis of burning fossil fuels, accelerating the development of renewable energy sources may help the economy to get through the currently developing energy crisis. Unfortunately, it will take time to build large-scale power plants such as nuclear power plants or hydrogen production companies for the development of hydrogen energy. In contrast, the energy crisis is already developing. In addition, in order to increase the diversification of energy sources and realise an environmentally and climate-friendly transformation of the energy sector, it is necessary to develop various renewable and emission-free energy sources. In this way, the independence of the national energy system can be increased and the level of energy security enhanced. Countries where the development of renewable and zero-carbon energy sources was neglected in previous years are now facing more economic problems due to the developing energy crisis. An example of this type of country is the one in which I operate, i.e. a country in which three quarters of energy is still produced on the basis of dirty, combustion-based energy, i.e. based on the combustion of fossil fuels, wood and other materials or organic waste. In view of the current energy crisis and the prospective climate crisis, the following question therefore arises: What kind of backyard power plants, mini-generation plants can be built quickly to become operational even before the next heating season? What eco-innovations and green energy technologies can help to build backyard power plants and mini-generation plants that can be built quickly within the framework of renewable energy sources and thus more smoothly survive the developing energy crisis?

As a part of my post doctoral research and book that is WIP , I am looking for examples of companies where play is integrated into the workplace for :

- building empathy / emotional intelligence

- nurturing creativity and innovation

- enhancing agility and experimentation

- well-being

Including leaders who have successfully leveraged play to become more effective at work.

One of the important factors limiting the development of solar energy may be the still existing lack of eco-innovations and green technologies for the utilization of used photovoltaic panels, implemented on an industrial scale. In many countries, many new photovoltaic panels are currently being installed on buildings. The current energy crisis may additionally accelerate the development of renewable and zero-emission energy sources. However, for a few, a dozen or a max. Several dozen years, millions, and globally billions of photovoltaic panels will be dismantled due to wear and tear and should be disposed of, not landfilled. This is an important issue taking into account the potential contamination of the natural environment with toxic substances contained in photovoltaic panels.

In view of the above, I would like to address the following question to the Distinguished Community of Researchers and Scientists:

In a research team comprising a mix of senior experts and young enthusiasts(members) if it is about creativity, who will contribute more as far as creativity is concerned. and Why ?

for e.g.

Runco in his research paper titled "Conflict and creativity" said that experienced and expert seniors may be more defensive to their own work and may not contribute new solutions ,.

(19) Conflict and Creativity | Request PDF (researchgate.net)

what are your views? please do contribute.

senior researchers naturally gravitate to what has worked in the past, using tried and true methods. However, whenever a group is working together on any project they will go through the steps of team formation: forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning. It is of critical importance that ground rules are agreed upon and used through the process to allow younger and/or researchers with a more creative approach to have their ideas also validated. This suggests diversity of thought. It has been proven time and time again, that the more diversity among a team, the better the results. This can also contribute to the building of long term successful relationships that again, will continue to encourage creativity and unique solutions.

Activation of entrepreneurship and innovation is essential for effective socio-economic development of the national economy.

Failure in entrepreneurship in the context of entire markets, sectors, the whole society, the entire economy is a negative effect of taking risks in the situation of starting a business and running a business.

This is the price of few, spectacular business successes. Therefore, it should not be reduced due to the existence of investment risk. Investment risk should be examined, analyzed, measured and hedged, for example, in the form of maintaining established, estimated financial provisions for the situation of potential loss of financial liquidity. An entrepreneur should take risks, accept a certain level of investment risk, measured and hedged risk.

Entrepreneurship should be supported by both public sector institutions and through private investment funds that finance the development of innovative startups. In modern knowledge-based economies, the state through central and through local government public institutions should support the development of entrepreneurship and innovation.

In view of the above, the current question is: Should the state support the development of entrepreneurship and innovation?

Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

I can see how pandemic has impacted creative abilities of both young and adult learners, by creating isolation from learning. It had negative effects on physical and mental health of students. Do you think that Creativity is consumed by corona? Would you like to comment upon this statement? You are most welcome.

AI is the intelligence exhibited by computers and software representing the third era of automation. AI is currently used in robotics, machine learning, analytics, decision-support, and virtual personal assistance.  AI is expected to transform many industries all over the world. The success of companies is increasingly defined by how they manage the integration  between human workforce and automation.   Businesses need to benefit from new AI technologies and systems to enhance productivity and increase human intelligence.  However, AI is not  seen by all as a tool that complement rather than replace manpower.  Many humans fear that smart robots will substitute their human counterparts in the labor force.   What is your opinion on the role of AI in job enhancement and boosting of revenue?

Can the activation of innovation and entrepreneurship be an important factor in defending the domestic economy against the forecasted, progressive slowdown in economic growth in the global economy in 2019?

Does the activation of economic processes through the development of pro-development innovation policy programs, activation of innovation and entrepreneurship can be an important factor in defending the national economy against a progressive slowdown in economic growth in the global economy and against the risk of a recession in the domestic economy that could occur through cross-border trade and international capital flows?

The importance of this question is important especially for countries with an open economy with a large share of cross-border trade and the growing share of globalization processes. In addition, this question is valid in the context of the projected slowdown in economic growth in many countries in 2019.

In view of the above, I am asking you the following question:

Can the activation of innovation and entrepreneurship be an important factor in defending the domestic economy against the forecasted, progressive slowdown in economic growth in the global economy in 2019?

I am in the process of designing a study which will be using the Alternative Uses Task as a measure of divergent thinking. In brief, the participant is asked to list as many possible uses for a common item in a certain time limit. Considering the time limit, is it more effective to ask the participant to speak, type or write their responses? There are obviously time differences with all three responses (e.g., spoken would be faster) but these will vary between individuals (e.g., typing speed). I wonder if this is a common debate or if there are known advantages/disadvantages of certain responses? Any thoughts or recommendations welcome.

Academic incubators of innovation and entrepreneurship are developed at universities to support innovation and entrepreneurship of students. Incubators are also a supplement to the educational program in the field of activating the innovation and entrepreneurship of students. Incubators sometimes also perform functions or cooperate with a career office for students. Career offices collect employment offers and organize internships for students through cooperation with companies and institutions that employ or give practice to students.

Sometimes academic incubators of innovation and entrepreneurship also cooperate with various institutions and companies in which students find employment or take apprenticeships. In addition, academic incubators of innovation and entrepreneurship, cooperating with various institutions and companies, enable the establishment of clusters of innovation, in which various economic entities, public institutions, scientific institutes and universities cooperate with each other. In this way, the possibilities of entrepreneurship development and generation of innovative solutions in assumed and developed research projects and startups are increasing.

Sometimes, also with the innovation cluster or business incubator, financial institutions cooperate, primarily banks offering financial support in the form of preferential loans for developing innovative startups. However, at the early stage of the establishment of business activity by students and organizations, the most important role is provided by substantive support in the field of advising on the formal and legal issues and accounting service of the university, lecturers and employees of the academic entrepreneurship incubator.

Do you agree with my opinion on this matter?

What should be the economic policy for supporting the development of entrepreneurship and innovation?

Should an active, Keynesian and interventionist policy be used to increase spending from the state budget on the development of entrepreneurship support programs and innovativeness of business entities?

However, should neo-classical economics expenditures from the public finance system for programs supporting entrepreneurship and innovation of business entities be small, according to the concept in which the essence of entrepreneurship and innovation lies in its self-acting objective initiation, organization and development?

Locally operating business entities should be promoted by chambers of commerce.

Entrepreneurship and innovation should be supported by central and local government units of public administration.

In addition, investment funds should co-finance innovative investment projects characterized by a high level of innovation.

However, in the education system, the issue of promoting local entrepreneurship of innovation may be taken into account, indicating the high level of significance of this issue for the economic development of the local self-government economy as well as in the context of the national economy.

In view of the above, the current question is: How to support and activate innovation and entrepreneurship?

Does the emergence of new technologies create new market niches for the development of innovative startups?

The development of new technologies creating market niches for the development of innovative startups

Currently, businesses and startups are being developed in many innovative, technological fields of business. Many of these rapidly developing ventures base their business development on new technologies, product, technological, process innovations, management, etc. Many startups develop their business projects trying to diagnose and use new market niches that also appear in connection with the development of new technologies, in including information technology, internet etc.

Relationship between conducted scientific research and innovations

Innovations can be the result of conducted research and scientific research.

Research work may concern, for example, defining, developing and planning the process of implementing innovative technologies in production processes or determining the potential industrial application of new, innovative types of materials, eg in the field of organic, biodegradable materials replacing hard-degradable plastics.

Research work is a process that is to lead to the implementation of specific research, analytical, research and implementation goals, the development of new solutions, formulas, laws, dependencies, correlations, inventions, patents and sometimes also innovations. Research work requires financial outlays, knowledge, and human resources of educated, experienced research staff. On the other hand, innovations are a new added value created, the value of which is determined by the possibilities of using a particular innovation in manufacturing processes, production or offering services. Innovation is a kind of product of previously conducted research.

Dear community of researchers,

I am a French business school student.

For my master dissertation, I'm working on innovation and how could innovation influence multinational's internationalization.

I've already find some interesting articles and topics that could help me to answer my question, but I'm referring to you today to have a new look on this subject.

So, I'm asking you if you have any advice to handle this subject in the best way or you know some articles that could fit my research question ?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

LD

Are you interested in the application of complex systems to the global history of humankind? I'm working on such a project, and I'm interested in discussions with like-minded people.

I published several articles on that in "The Complex Systems" journal (thecomplexsystems.com). A short overview of my work is in my blog (vtorvich.com) and the description of my book "Subsurface History of Humanity: Direction of History" on Amazon.

We have just started to explore Digital Platforms as Global Public Goods. I am wondering whether others have ventured into the same and if there are other works in this area.

For your reference, you can find an early paper on this here:

Dear All Researchers and Engineers,

Advantages of fintechs over traditional banks, considering consumer banking functions...from both the perspectives of banks and customers...

New ideas, new concepts in science and art arise as a result of human creativity, innovation, emotional intelligence, the need for self-realization, the need to be appreciated by other people. These are the values at the very top of Maslov's pyramid. Human higher needs arose through the evolution of human consciousness and intelligence under conditions of multi-generational development of sociobiological and psychosocial determinants.

Please, answer, comments.

I invite you to the discussion

From current research there are numerous positive aspects for using a prefabricated construction system for building design, such as quality control, costs, sustainability and minimal onsite construction work. What are some of the positive aspects in relation to architectural design, detail, innovation and individuality?

Will waste segregation, recycling and ecological innovations solve one of the biggest civilization problems of the 21st century, which are rapidly growing landfills?

The problem of garbage appeared in the history of the development of civilization relatively late, because only in the nineteenth century, when the first industrial wastes, including petroleum plastics, began to appear.

Previously, it was dominated by the almost complete biodegradation of waste and the recycling of secondary raw materials.

The problem of growing waste heaps and landfills of unsorted municipal waste gradually grew in the 20th century with the development of industry.

The development of the industry was not burdened with almost any costs of environmental protection, cleaning up degraded environment, recovery of recyclable materials from waste.

Proecological concepts of industrial development, waste segregation and recycling have emerged and are practiced on a larger scale mainly in developed, richer countries, because these countries usually produce the most waste but also have financial resources for pro-ecological activities, waste segregation and recycling.

Technological, ecological and material innovations should help in the future to reduce the growing landfills of unsorted municipal waste.

One of the key problems of growing garbage dumps is still plastic, which is not subject to rapid biodegradation.

One of the solutions introduced in some countries is, for example, replacing plastic cutlery and plates in cutlery restaurants and dishes made of rice, bran or other types of cereals.

In addition, the complete elimination of plastic bags used to pack different products on paper or other organic biodegradable materials.

Gradually more and more restrictive solutions will appear. A lot of pro-ecological actions in this matter have been inspired by the above-national rock in the European Union.

But this is just the beginning of this process. The question arises whether the emerging new technological solutions, including ecological innovations, will solve this growing problem?

Will this problem be solved only when pro-ecologic activity begins to be a profit-making activity and not one that needs to be paid for?

But even if the next new technological solutions in the field of substituting plastics with other biodegradable materials, the innovations of ecological innovations that improve the recycling and reclamation of fugitive environments, would gradually solve the problem of growing landfills of unsorted landfills, will a man in this technological progress manage this problem? solve in the XXI century?

Will there be enough time for that? In addition, in poor countries, slowly growing for many years, this will be a serious problem.

These countries are illegally transported un-sorted, unprotected, often very toxic wastes.

In recent years, organized criminal groups have been involved in the practice of smuggling toxic, unprotected waste from rich, highly developed countries covered by restrictions of expensive segregation and neutralization process, securing, proper storage of toxic, non-recultivated waste to poorer countries, not subjected to such high restrictions or in which environmental protection and internal security systems do not work well.

In addition, there is a growing problem of sinking this type of waste in the seas and oceans. This process generates a rapidly progressing process of pollution of sea water and fauna and flora living in the seas and oceans.

In view of the above, the current question remains: Will waste segregation, recycling and ecological innovations solve one of the biggest civilization problems of the 21st century, which are rapidly growing landfills?

Creativity is often closely related to innovation.

Creativity is an important factor generating new solutions, eg technological, new technical, product, process innovations, etc.

Education processes should develop the need and creativity of pupils so that later on these people become innovators and entrepreneurs who organize innovative startups.

In view of the above, I am asking:

Hello!

I believe, that we, the researchers in social and human sciences are a bit like the Moliere’s Monsieur Jourdain who found out (with the help of the teacher) that he spoke in prose. Today we speak of certain types of proses, e.g. behavioral, liberal, etc., as it is the universal language of today's social and human science. The language we use is geared with the research we do.

I believe, the language from D. Kahneman "Thinking fast and slow" has made us use psychological & behavioral prose, and consequently psychological & behavioral interpretations and the units of analyses in our research.

That's why I start working on the project "Creating fast and slow" which aims at showing that the creativity of interdisciplinary teams is based not on how do particular members think but on how are the assignments formulated: (1) creating fast, the assignments that expect a direct solution of the formulated problem (2) creating slow, the assignments that allow redefining the problem and to solve another problem than the initial one. I believe that improperly solving a fast creativity assignment instead of the slow creativity assignments is a relevant research problem here.

Origins

In 2018, we carried out one semester-long workshop on innovations, where students were working on briefs supplied by firms from one of the technological parks. The briefs contained the problems to be solved. The students proposed solutions and got feedback from the authors of the briefs (the sponsor users were the holders of the study). We saw that (1) only one team reformulated the initially formulated problem after one semester of work on it (2) the presented solutions got feedback but no one was tested in a real-life environment anyway. We understand now that (1) the whole above project should be redesigned and (2) the problem of improperly solving a fast creativity assignment instead of the slow creativity assignments should be investigated also outside the university projects' reality.

Could you point any scientific sources or anecdotal evidence (failures? achievements?), where the teams solved the fast creating type assignment, where they should work on the slow creating type assignment? Have you seen any research on such a problem?

In my opinion, the combination of technologies typical of the technological revolution known as Industry 4.0 may turn out to be one of the key determinants of civilization progress in the 21st century.

At present, in the age of the technological revolution known as the 4.0 industry, new concepts of technological management or Internet-based companies are being created.

The technological revolution in recent years, known as Industry 4.0, is motivated by the development of the following factors:

Big Data database technologies, cloud computing, machine learning, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence.

In addition, in the knowledge-based economy, the important areas of knowledge and technologies that are developed are primarily the development of data processing analytics in Business Intelligence enterprises, the development of life science technologies, biotechnology, eco-innovation, RES energy, medical intelligence, etc.

On the basis of the development of the new technological solutions mentioned in recent years, the processes of innovatively organized analyzes of large information collections gathered in Big Data database systems dynamically develop.

In view of the above, I would like to ask you: Which technologies will determine the development of civilization in the 21st century?
