Left Brain, Right Brain and the New Computers

Do you still remember those days when your computers were dull black boxes?

In 1998, Apple changed our perception of computer when it rolled out the transparent iMac G3



Recently, Asus launched the F6 series notebook computers with 4 different designs…



Now, to make a functional computer requires analytical skills, which is a function our left brain. To design a visually-appealing computer, on the other hand, requires creativity, which is a function of our right brain.

When I was a secondary student, I studied Science. In the university, I studied Engineering. I had been trained to think in a logical manner. In future, I foresee that the job market will need more people who can think creatively. If you have children in schooling age, do make sure to train them in both aspects.

  8. Most people are left brained. That's why everyone should learn to play a musical instrument - trains your right brain : )

  11. I'm trained as a logic thinker during my uni days too. Systematic thinking + a dosage of creativity is a powerful combination.

    But hey, isn't creative thinking the root of the current economic crisis, since that created structured pdts?
