Editing Activity theory (section)

===Human creativity===
Human creativity plays an important role in activity theory, that "human beings... are essentially creative beings" in "the creative, non-predictable character". Tikhomirov also analyses the importance of ''creative activity'', contrasting it to ''routine'' activity, and notes the important shift brought about by computerisation in the balance towards creative activity.

Karl Marx, a sociological theorist, argued that humans are unique compared to other species in that humans create everything they need to survive. According to Marx, this is described as species-being. Marx believed we find our true identity in what we produce in our personal labor.<ref>{{Cite book|title=The social lens : an invitation to social and sociological theory|last=Allan|first=Kenneth|isbn=9781412992787|edition=Third|location=Thousand Oaks, CA|oclc=829099056|date = 2013-05-21}}</ref>
