Things to Come ...

Welcome to Celebrate Creativity - Episode 424 - Things to Come -

If you are listening to this podcast episode, that means I have a few more minutes on my podcasting hosting time - just enough for this episode. I am taking some time off from recording to concentrate on writing episodes that are more Direct, interesting, and just generally a better experience. One of the subjects that I know I will be delving into is Shakespeare because that was my major in graduate school - and covering his works on a direct level that gives you confidence that you understand what can sometimes be confusing material. Of course I also want to emphasize creativity and approaching Shakespeare, as well as how Shakespeare’s works or precursor to AI. Of course any examination of creativity includes a closer look at AI - especially in education - and I will be spending a great deal of time reading and delving into the subject matter.

Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Welcome to Celebrate Creativity - Episode 424 - Things to Come -

If you are listening to this podcast episode, that means I have a few more minutes on my podcasting hosting time - just enough for this episode. I am taking some time off from recording to concentrate on writing episodes that are more Direct, interesting, and just generally a better experience. One of the subjects that I know I will be delving into is Shakespeare because that was my major in graduate school - and covering his works on a direct level that gives you confidence that you understand what can sometimes be confusing material. Of course I also want to emphasize creativity and approaching Shakespeare, as well as how Shakespeare’s works or precursor to AI. Of course any examination of creativity includes a closer look at AI - especially in education - and I will be spending a great deal of time reading and delving into the subject matter.

For example - 

You can think of shakespeare’s approached to the theater as Virtual Reality's Ancestor. Shakespeare’s theater employed cutting-edge special effects: trap doors, flying rigs, cannon-fired pyrotechnics, and sophisticated costumes that transformed actors. Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre was essentially an immersive experience technology, creating alternate realities through mechanical devices and human performance—much like how AI creates virtual experiences today.

And Shakespeare's integration of technology into his plays was remarkably sophisticated and purposeful, creating what might be considered the first "high-tech" theater experiences. The technology wasn't just decoration—it was integral to the storytelling and creative content.
