Knowledge is the known uses and properties of something. It’s the hard facts about something and what the objects were designed to be used for. There are quantitative and qualitative facts about everything: What color is it? How many do you have? Is it a solid, liquid, or gas? Is it bendable or breakable? Can it react with different substances? All of these are facts that can be found to be true for every object that is the same as its predecessor. Whereas creativity is finding out new uses and new materials for things. In RSA’s Changing Education Paradigms he asked how many ways can you use a paperclip. You can use a paper clip hundreds of ways: you can bend it into a little sculpture, or make tiny hangers or s-hooks out of them, you can make supports for things or use them as hair pins. Creativity can lead to numerous different approaches and uses for something as simple as a paperclip while knowledge says that a paperclip is supposed to do its one job of being a paperclip.
