科技與發明之間的關係
各項對全球經濟有影響力的新科技與新發明，大多是由國家資助所進行的基礎研究。同時，這些物理科學、數學，以及工程領域等重要的基礎研究，實際上就是一個發明平台，可作為其他創新發明的組成元件。以i pod為例，他整合了多項基礎研究的科技發明（如訊息處理、儲存、顯示、儲電等），而這些基礎研究都是獲得國家重要研究機構所資助。整理：樊學良

Creativity.4in1: Four-Criterion Construct of Creativity
這篇文章延伸人們慣用的創造力定義（新穎和有用的觀點）為四個概念：新穎（novelty）,實用（utility）, 美的哲學（aesthetics），以及真誠（authenticity：作品表達了創作者的內心世界和對世界的看法）。不妨試試看用這四個構面理解一個作品的創造力。
林忠尉補充：此一取向不同於認知神經科學取向對於美的定義。認知神經科學取向從「認訊處理」取向的觀點。包含從知覺開始、然後經歷情緒、記憶的歷程，最後會有美感判斷(審美)，並引發快樂的情緒（愉悅的感覺）。

The purpose of this theoretical article is to provide an extended definition of creativity that embraces potential cross-cultural variations in this construct. Creativity is defined as a 4-criterion construct, which includes attributes of novelty, utility, aesthetics, and authenticity. Novelty attribute stipulates that a creative work brings something new into being, which presents a new conceptual framework and/or modifies or violates an existing one. Utility attribute stipulates that a creative work is what a producer or a recipient considers creative, what represents an important landmark in spiritual, cultural, social, and/or political environment, and what addresses moral issues. The aesthetics attribute stipulates that a creative work presents the fundamental truth of nature, which is reflected in a perfect order, efficiently presents the essence of the phenomenal reality, and is satisfactorily complex, expressing both tension and intrinsic contradiction. Authenticity attribute stipulates that a creative work expresses an individual's inner self and relates one's own values and believes to the world. These attributes establish a comparison matrix, which can be used to evaluate and compare the levels of creativity of works from different areas of human endeavor.
