Creating, Connecting, Community
Creativity is rooted in self reflection, personal expression, and social context. But context comes by connecting to a larger community. The Internet encourages us to share, but tutorials, books, and social networks sometimes facilitate copying or infringement with questionable consequences. Do we understand the impact of copying, under- pricing, sharing information, and skills that someone else invented? A challenge to the status quo is worth considering.
