is the environment has effect to our creativity ?

Wi-fi, Black box flight recorders, Hills clothes hoists, Cochlear implants, Dual-flush toilets, Mountbatten Braillers, Super Sopper Rollers, Ultrasound, Disposable syringe, Plastic banknotes are Australian inventions.

why so many Australian are so creative and become an inventor / innovator ?

is the environment has effect to our creativity ? 

yes ? so what kind of environment / situation would make you become creative person ? 

I think there are two kind of environment that make you become creative person.

 

The first is "Limitation"  

 If you were born in wealthy family..   With all the stuff, the toys,  all the things available for you. you will do all the job easier. Write the text with computer, goes to school by car, playing Playstation or Nitendo  even ask the maid to swap the floor. True isn't it ?
but believe me,  it kills your creativity !

But if you were born in poor family or even in the forest or in the middle of nowhere.
you'll hardly to do everything. Write with hand, making his own toys with bamboo, used box, used can and anything else. But that situation will build their creativity !

This is why I said that limitation make or maybe "forced" someone to be creative.

The second is "Creative environment" 

 If you were born in creative family.. You father is illustrator, and your mother is an designer.. And 90% you'll be a someone in creative industry..  Like a proverb said that  the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. 

Or if you goes to school that 90% of your classmate like drawing, so you'll be influenced to like drawing.

 

The third is "Freedom of expression" 

 if in your school there is a regulation to do something or not to do something. it will limit your expression . but if they said "you allowed to do anything !" you will do everything with your creativity and build your creativity. but ofcourse there will be a drawback if there's no regulation.
