THE GOOGLE


The company was founded by larry page and Sergey Brin, often dubbed the "Google Guys". Search engines before 1998 such as Yahoo and AltaVista were providing a means of searching for information that brought up more junk than what the user was looking for.It was only until 1998 that Google, the Brain Child of two former Stanford University Students Sergey Brin and Larry Page broke through the barriers of search engines to become the most efficient and useful search engine for the web.Both co founders had been studying there Phd. when they came up with there revolutionary breakthrough in how people get information on the net.Interestingly the two young men had not intended to start up a company of there own,there original plan was to sell there idea to an existing search engine company,but unfortunately or fortunately they were turned down.They focused on what the user needed and put the user first.They understood that a keeping everything simple and precise,shown from the simple layout of there website page to the ease at which one can get information from there site,was the way to go.There continuous  success is greatly stimulated by the fact that they believe in a free environment of working in which the mind is encouraged to be creative.All Google employees enjoy free food,fun and games at the Google headquarters,this work approach has developed new creative ideas such as Google earth and Google chrome.The Google boys are a good example of Creativity with big 'C',there ideas and have brought about changes in the way we acquire information in the world,making it easier and more accessible at the simple click of a button.

cReativity ??

Define creativity. . .

Everyone have their own idea about creativity. For me I totally agree with Linda Naiman (founder of creativityatwork.com)

By Linda Naiman :

I define creativity as the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality. Creativity involves two processes: thinking, then producing. Innovation is the production or implementation of an idea. If you have ideas, but don't act on them, you are imaginative but not creative.




 There is so many creative people in this world, being creative involves ,novelty, Innovation and invention.

novelty. .

Innovation. .

Innovation is the process of making improvement. It is involves a revolution of an existing product in terms of the way it is seen or used in new way that had not been thought of. to be called an innovation, an idea must be replicable at an cost and must satisfy a specific need.




invention. 

An invention is a new composition, device, or process. An invention may be derived from a pre-existing model or idea, or it could be independently conceived in which case it may be a radical breakthrough
