This blog post talks about how creativity can influence or inspire people to do different things. He gives an example, the iPhone, and how that the innovative device five years later can now be used as a virtual harmonica. Robinson explains that our own creativity is a part of a much larger cultural conversation. Our ideas lead to another person's ideas and so on. This creates a giant pool of ideas for us to see and share with each other. Sometimes this inspiration comes from something related to what you do, sometimes it can be completely different. This creativity is essential when it comes to schools promoting creativity and innovation. Students need inspiration, which today many students lack. Robinson ends with showing us examples of how he has inspired other people, and by saying that this cultural conversation can lead to many new innovations.
