I agree with Susan that technology can both encourage and impair creativity, but I think Richard Watson isn't necessarily off base. There will always be creative people, but people who aren't naturally inclined toward creativity are more likely not to even try if there's a ready-made tool for "creativity" in front of them. One example: those "creative" PowerPoint presentations. Often there's the false impression that anything that uses the latest technology is automatically creative.
