In response to Danny's "Best of Week: Big Ideas" I shared an agreement with Danny's opinion on Neal Gabler's statement "If our ideas seem smaller nowadays, it's not because we are dumber than our forebears but because we just don't care as much about ideas as they did". My response was:
Wow I totally agree. That is so ignorant of him to judge our ideas. Just because they seem small doesn't mean we don't care. Think of alexander graham Bell and the telephone. If we look at his invention today it seems so small and of no use to us. But who would have thought that we would then create wireless calling, texting, surfing the web. His small idea of talking through a wire became a major part of todays society.
In response to Victor's "Carry It Foreward: Creativity Crisis", I agreed on some aspects of his idea but I put in my own opinion as well.
I can agree in some aspects to your idea that screens weaken our creativity. But not all screens do this. For example, if I were in my graphics class I would spend the entire class period in front of a computer, but while i'm on that computer, I am creating something in photoshop. So t a computer can be used as a tool for creativity. Thats how TV works. They use computers to come up with what their imaginations think of. Us watching it may take away the creative process but the people who create them are still using their creativity to make them.
