We can say that if there was no creativity, there would'nt have been any development. Infact development has lot to do with some or the other person's creativity. You must be wondering how? It's because, invention is nothing but refined form of creativity. This can be backed by the fact that until something is created for purpose of just self it remains just an idea but when the same creativity tends to become helpful for others as well it becomes an invention. This post of creatonnes showcases some of the awsome creations which might become a part of our daily routine in near future.
I hope you all will enjoy this post...
