Portale internetowe jako medium twórczości internautów

Abstract

The text is based on system theories of creativity. Starting from Teresa Amabile’s hypothesis saying that people doing certain actions should derive satisfaction from the very fact of creation, he phenomenon of creativity in the Internet. The attempt was made to answer the questions on the role of the Internet in presenting one’s own works and role of new technologies in life of contemporary man. Also, the issue of intensively developing information technology was raised, as well as the attention was paid to the fact that information technology has a significant influence on the contemporary society. The text also deals with the issue of directing images in the internet and the need to communicate which is one of the main motives of creation. A confirmation of the hypothesis is an increasing number of the Internet users and a constantly growing number of portals and places in the web where the Internet users can present their works.
