And we also may regret those things we did badly or the mistakes
we made. In reality, we can always learn from our mistakes and hope
to never make them again. For example, if I failed a test because I

Sometimes authors write things out in an actual timeline, similar to a diary. Mary
Ruefle’s wrote “My Search Amongst the Birds,” she records her thoughts over
several months, creating a chronology of her experience feeding the birds at her
home. Here’s a selection of the work:
▪ Aug 19 It took the little birds about a week to find the seeds.
▪ Aug 23 One day a pigeon joined them, he was larger and seemed “superior,”
the little birds seemed “respectful”
(later) I saw a bird in the plants near the park. It looked thin to me.
▪ Aug 26 They come for breakfast and they come for dinner. WHERE DO THEY
GO FOR LUNCH?
▪ Aug 28 Bought a pair of opera glasses to facilitate my search among the birds.
▪ Aug 29 I replace the little golden seeds, for I have run out of them, with black
oiled sunflower seeds, which everyone knows are superior and preferred by all
birds. I do this in the middle of the night so as to “surprise” the birds in the
morning. But in the morning they don’t act “surprised” at all, they act as if
nothing’s changed. But then again, they may be “acting.”
TIMELINE
A time line is another way to present facts or activities in order, but using key
words or pictures. The format is usually horizontal and you can use it with any topic
to help explain and comprehend easily.
In the following picture you can see the timeline for TECHNOLOGY and the
advances:

THE 5 STAGES OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS
Most important, the ability to generate new combinations hinges upon your
ability to see the relationships between concepts. If you can form a new link
between two old ideas, you have done something creative.
Young believed this process of creative connection always occurred in five steps.
1. Gather new material. At first, you learn. During this stage you focus on 1)
learning specific material directly related to your task and 2) learning general
material by becoming fascinated with a wide range of concepts.
2. Thoroughly work over the materials in your mind. During this stage, you
examine what you have learned by looking at the facts from different angles
and experimenting with fitting various ideas together.
3. Step away from the problem. Next, you put the problem completely out of
your mind and go do something else that excites you and energizes you.
4. Let your idea return to you. At some point, but only after you have
stopped thinking about it, your idea will come back to you with a flash of
insight and renewed energy.
19
5. Shape and develop your idea based on feedback. For any idea to
succeed, you must release it out into the world, submit it to criticism, and
adapt it as needed.
Being creative isn't about being the first (or only) person to think of an idea.
More often, creativity is about connecting ideas.

Robots
The Husqvarna company makes a lawn mowing robot called the Auto
Mower. The robot has sensors that detect where objects are in the yard and it
maneuvers around them. The robot can cut the grass while you relax on the patio
with a glass of lemonade! Also, Eureka now makes a robotic vacuum
cleaner. Like the robot lawn mower, the vacuum cleaner automatically detects
where the furniture is and vacuums around it.
Cars are becoming robots now that many cars have GPS (Global
Positioning Systems) on them. A car with a GPS system can give you directions
on how to go somewhere, tell you where the closest gas station is, and, some day
41
in the future, will drive itself. You will take a nap or read while the car drives itself
to your destination.
We even have robotic pets now. The Sony company makes a robotic dog
named Aibo that can sit, stand, and walk like a regular dog but can also
communicate and take pictures! Aibo understands certain commands, like a dog
does, such as "Sit down", "Stand up", "Turn right", etc. If you ask Aibo a question
such as "How old are you?", its eyes will flash the number of years old it is. Aibo is
also a great guard dog. He can patrol the yard and take pictures with a built in
camera of anything suspicious.
