Therefor it is important to have a better understands of the role and impacts of digital technologies on human’s creativity and its end product. In order to do so, I tried to answer the following questions; A) Do technology really expands, aids, and creates creativity? B) Do they both have contradicting conceptions? In short, I am trying to examine the impact of the usage of digital technologies on the creativity of humans in design. In trying to do so, I have implemented a qualitative method based mainly on logical interpretation and review of literature. As a conclusion, I found that creativity in the first place relays on the creative person, not on the technology. And that technology may help only in expressing creativity, but not creating it. Also there are conceptual contradictions between them. Finally, I can say that: considering technological thought as the primer thought mode of our age as peters argued (Peters, 2000) is crucial enough to threat peoples’ creativity.
