答案 Does Too Much Information Spoil Creativity? The era of information has already come, and our life has changed in a subtle way. The development and popularization of the Internet, along with cell phones and all kinds of electronic devices have influenced our habits a lot. With the explosion of information, it is much easier and more convenient for us to find out anything we’d like to know. However, some people believe that too much information may spoil our creativity for we’re now too lazy to think about our own solutions. I don’t agree with this opinion for the following reasons. First, I admit that flourishing information does make us lazier. We no longer need to wander in the libraries, or to find the answer to a mystery in encyclopedias. Using a search engine is enough to inquire everything you want to know, from the life of a historic figure to the recipe of a famous dish. There are so many online encyclopedias for you to consult for information, as well as Q&A websites to find answers to your questions. Thus, we’re more reluctant to think about our own answers but consult the existing ones instead. However, the interactive compilations of the online encyclopedias and answers to the questions have inspired more creative ideas. And those who search for answers must have their own understandings during the process of distinguishing and choosing. Second, the increasing information is an eye-opener, by which we can easily get access to the latest information or knowledge of a certain field. Therefore, we can avoid the detour to truth, and have a more divergent thinking mode. We can more easily know that there may be different answers to a single question according to different understandings and from different perspectives. We can figure out the answers of our own, following the examples. We can get more inspirations from the wisdom of others and transfer them into personalized thoughts, which are always creative and original. In a word, the explosion of information is not destructive to our creativity. On the contrary, it can promote the development of our creativity and originality to a large extent for the reasons above. In spite of this, we should also pay attention to the problems such as information abuse and illegal copying and plagiarism of online information, which may have negative effects on our creativity that is so important to the evolution of our world.
