Another topic we discussed in tonight's class was the question if "computers inspire creativity?"
Once again the Windows consultants in class said no. They couldn't ever imagine a computer helping someone be creative. I pity their outlook in life. Why would anyone ever use Windows if this was the case?
One of them said that, while there are software programs that help you create things, computers do nothing to inspire creativity. He said that photoshopping is nothing like painting and that computers are for performing various drudgw work.
I wanted to snap, "Get a Mac!" That will show you the endless possibilities of being creative. Break those chains and get a mac. You don't know what you're missing.
Computers are tools. Software programs are tools. In the artist's hands, these tools can do amazing things. Look at digital animation. That is creative! I think that using them will ignite the creative side of you. You never know until you've tried.
This is why I like the Mac platform. There are endless inspiring programs coming out for it. I believe the indy Mac developer world is just like the indy film world of the eighties. It is ready to go big time. If it could just change the developers that are like that Windows consultant, then Apple could rule the world. I think that day is coming.

Computers are creative tools. That's why I really want to develop Mac applications. The Mac provides an outlet for creative programming.
The simple act of using it to make something such as a movie, an image or even an application is the essence of creativity.
