Key concepts in this essay

creativity definitions (consumption vs. creation; traditional vs. digital forms)
correlation between tech adoption and entertainment consumption patterns
substitution effect: tech replaces some creative outlets but enables others

Pitfalls the model essay avoids

Accepting 'modern technology makes people less creative' as axiomatic; ignores digital creators, indie game designers, etc.
Conflating fewer people doing X with technology's fault; may reflect lifestyle choice, not capability loss
Ignoring that tech also enables new forms of creativity (video production, music sampling, digital art)
