“…According to Greene (2002) the digital environments support creativity in the design process in knowledge gathering, knowledge sharing and knowledge integration, and in idea generation. Digital devices have the potential to boost individual creativity because they provide people with access to new and diverse information (Oldham and Da Silva, 2016) from a variety of sources. From knowledge repositories and information specialists (Dewett, 2003) to a broad network of diverse non-specialists who might have different ideas or perspectives, necessary to develop fresh new ideas.…”

Creativity-the ability to produce novel and useful ideas-has become a democratic necessity and the most important human skill to face the uncertainties brought by the digital era we are going through. This era and its digital technologies are reshaping the social, behavioural and cognitive development of digitally enhanced individuals who are growing up with digital habits. The fundamental questions that arises from this context are about the effects of the technological evolution on the creative thinking abilities of the digitally enhanced generation. What are the positive and negative impact on creativity brought by digital technology? Through a Creative 4.0 model, built from the analysis of the current scenario of transition, the paper presents an overview and some preliminary reflections about the changes that the digital technological evolution of our century is bringing on human creativity, particularly on the creative design process.

“…Notwithstanding the key role of technology affordances for design-thinking creative process, Oldham and Silva [44], in their recent work, enumerate three supportive institutional conditions for facilitating innovation that can be bolstered by the availability and use of ICTs-(1) access to new and diverse information, (2) engagement in the work roles, and (3) socioemotional and instrumental support for individuals involved in creative tasks, which includes mustering support for their ideas and implementation [44]. Therefore, technology enabled creative process support perceptions are expected to increase the individual's sense of control, which can help to boost the agent's motivation, thereby contributing positively to digital innovations [45].…”

Though prior research recognizes the vital role of the 'innovation agents' in effectuating digital innovation, little attention has been given to examine the role of 'innovation affordances'. Drawing on digital innovation literature, we conceptualize the influence of both-'innovation agent' and 'innovation affordance' factors on the extent of digital innovation. We then test the theorized model via a quasi-experimental study, where the extent of digital innovation from a technology enabled design-thinking creative process is examined. Though the results from our study demonstrate the salience of both 'innovation agent' and 'innovation affordance' factors, the latter operationalized through technology enabled design-thinking process, the construct for which is developed in our study, has a stronger influence on digital innovation. Our research emphasizes the need for having a well-structured technology enabled creative process to actualize the innovation affordances. The findings have significant theoretical and practical implications.

“…Adults must perform various kinds of life roles in everyday life (Reed, 2013), which can be seen in the articles in this volume that represent the differing perpsectives of adults. Those who are settled in working life are increasingly engaged with digital technologies that mediate information, communication, and social relationships in networked working communities (Oldham & Da Silva, 2015). Others are pursuing further education to promote and maintain their professional development, and some are striving for a new area of expertise.…”

This special issue of the Journal of Media Literacy Education explores the role of media literacy across the lifespan. Media literacy education interventions must be designed to meet the needs of individuals of different ages by understanding the life roles and goals that they have across the lifespan. Different pedagogical strategies are required to effectively address the media literacy competencies of young children, teens, adults, parents, and older adults. In old age, media literacy education may support cognitive functioning and social relationships and help people critically assess health-related information and services. Adopting a life course perspective enables the examination of media literacy competencies which unfold over time in response to changing historical conditions, social institutions and policies. This article reviews the literature to identify the current state of media literacy for different age groups, the present and future needs, and the media education content and instructional methods that have been used with children and adolescents, adult, and older people.
