Abstract

This paper investigates the interaction in digital platforms with our abilities of creative thinking and creative action. The first section thus reviews the essential qualities that reveal the states of creative thinking and action. The following sections discuss how digital platforms and the attention economy affect these qualities. The paper contends that the fundamental problem behind these effects does not arise from the technology per se, but from the worldview that leads the economic system, using this technology. The paper finally brings up for discussion the positions and the steps that can be taken in order for this worldview and this system to change.

Abstract

Cet article examine comment les plateformes numériques affectent les capacités de pensée créative et d’action créative des utilisateurs. La première section résume les qualités essentielles observées dans les états de pensée créatrice et d’action. Les sections suivantes discutent les effets des plateformes numériques et de l’économie de l’attention sur ces qualités. Le document propose que le problème fondamental de ces effets ne survient pas de la technologie elle-même; il survient de la vision du monde derrière l’économie qui utilise cette technologie. Le document indique enfin les stratégies que nous pouvons utiliser et les mesures que nous pouvons prendre pour changer cette vision du monde et ce système.

Abstract

Bu makale, günümüzde işleyen biçimleriyle dijital platformların yaratıcı düşünce ve eylem imkânlarımızla etkileşimini sorguluyor. Bu amaçla ilk bölümde yaratıcı eylem halini ortaya çıkaran bazı önemli nitelikleri gözden geçiriyor. Sonraki bölümlerde dijital platformların ve dikkat ekonomisinin bu nitelikleri nasıl etkilediğini araştırıyor. Bu etkilerin arkasında yatan temel sorunun teknolojinin kendisinden değil, bu teknolojiyi kullanan ekonomik sistemi yönlendiren zihniyetten kaynaklandığını savunuyor. Bu zihniyetin ve sistemin değişmesi için alabileceğimiz konumları ve atabileceğimiz adımları tartışmaya açıyor.
