1.1.1 Task 1
Critically evaluate the following two claims based on the arguments in the reading assignment (the claims are from: Csikszentmihalyi, M. (1996) Creativity - Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and Invention, HarperCollins Publishers, New York, NY):
* "An idea or product that deserves the label 'creative' arises from the synergy of many sources and not only from the mind of a single person." 
** to do: comment whether this argument is valid? can you think of exceptions?
** to do: reflect on your own creativity (or major achievements)- does the argument apply to them?
* "It is easier to enhance creativity by changing conditions in the environment than by trying to make people think more creatively."  
** to do: provide examples and analyze  features/requirements of systems which "change the environment" to enhance creativity.  

1.1.1 Task 2
