Week 3: Bill Gates
For my next CS assignment, student were asked to draw a picture of the creator of Microsoft Windows or the creators of Google through our own opinion of what he represents.
I've chosen 'the creator of Microsoft Windows', Bill Gates;
So what I did was, I drew a picture of him trying to smash an apple (symbol for Mac) with a bat (with a Windows symbol on it). I get the idea after reading an article about him on Yahoo! a few days ago. The article was about him banning the iPhone from his house. To read more about the article, click here: Click!

Week 1: Creative? Creativity?
What is the differences between Creative and Creativity?
Creative:
- Having the quality or power of creating.
- Resulting from originality of thought, expression, etc.; imaginative: creative writing. - Originative and productive.
- Facetious. using or creating exaggerated or skewed data, information, etc.: creative bookkeeping.
Creativity:
- The state or quality of being creative.
- The ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc.; originality, progressiveness, or imagination: the need for creativity in modern industry; creativity in the performing arts.
- the process by which one utilizes creative ability: Extensive reading stimulated his creativity.
Those are the meaning of Creative and Creativity taken from dictionary.com. But in my opinion;
Creative:
Creative is like something that is very artsy and nobody have ever think about it before.
Example:
The portable chair (image on the left)
No one has ever created a portable chair like that before. That is why it called creative. Because of its design is so original. Plus, it's very artistic.
