Seth showed us a video on playful brainstorming and creative expression earlier this week, and the person in the video talked about how students in school are usually taught to get their first idea, and to focus on just that. Psychologists call it satisficing, which is “to accept the first plausible solution to a problem that comes along”. Satisficing is alright, but it is also proven that it “eliminates the possibility of significant creative accomplishment.”

I found this video very useful, especially when our goal is to work towards being a media practitioner with creative ideas and approaches. This would be a good reminder for all the sketches we will be coming up with.
