Daniel Pink: How the 21st century Brain Affects Creativity

# data[].attributes.body
2010 Interview by HBR; cited by Wagner above.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
According to Daniel Pink, the author of the New York Times best-selling Drive, the great shift of the early 21st century is from left to right. Rather than a political change, however, Pink's shift is all about the brain. The 21st century, he argues, represents the triumph of our creative right brain skills over the more procedural thinking of our left brain.

So when I met with Pink on a rainy afternoon in Washington earlier this month, I began by asking him whether the new hegemony of right brain skills would represent a new golden age of creativity for both artists and ordinary people. - Andrew Keen

Andrew Keen is the author of The Cult of the Amateur.

Quest is an amazing tool which allows your students (or yourself) to create text adventures like seminal 1980s masterpiece Zork (recently popularised by The Big Bang Theory). These can be an excellent alternative to creative writing exercises, and can be written in various different languages. Why not create a game and have others play it, rather than write yet another alternative ending or new scene?
