The Creativity Pot

Have you ever been in a room pitching your ideas to others, only to have them push better ideas back at you? It is the most incredible feeling in the world. You can come up with some great idea, that no one else can think of. As you tell others about your idea, they tell you ways to change or expand your idea to create something better; something you never thought of. Together in this melting pot of ideas, ideas are tuned into amazing products. Creativity comes from numbers. One person may be creative, but together we can change the world. If we look though history, we can find that the biggest advances happened in times and governments when thinking outside of the box was encouraged. Aristotle built ideas off of Plato, who in turn built off of Socrates. Ideas flourish upon collaboration. One modern evidence of this is the Android OS for mobile phones. Android is an open-source software, where its competitors are not. Android started off as the most lacking, most annoying phone OS out there. To be frank, it was horrible and its competition was incredible. However, through time, Android has become the most popular and most up to date phone OS on the market. Its competitors simply can't keep up with the innovation. The open-source software allows creative ideas to build off of others creative ideas, creating a collage of human creativity. When we work and share our ideas with each-other, truly amazing things can happen.
