Response to TED Video

In response to the TED video that we watched in class, I loved everything that guy was saying. He was right on point about technology and young people. The only disagreement I have with him is when he spoke about the remixing and recreation of already created sources. I think there are a lot of amazing things out there that have been directly inspired, influenced and even sampled from other sources. However, in my book there comes a point where someone is skipping the first step, which is the initial light bulb. The glimmer of original creation. Some people solely base their creative endeavors on things that have already been produced, creatively, and even things that have already had their hay day and seen the limelight. There is SO much new technology and media today that it is hard to one to think for oneself. It is a world that soaks up so much creativity, yet is not re-creating it's own.
