Ideas are everywhere. There a billions and trillions of ideas to come up with for a story, movie, invention, song and more. And you may be thinking to yourself, where do they come from? Well the answer is simple, it comes from you, from your brain. You may be thinking how?
Well did you know, it is nearly impossible to invent something that is 100% original. But how, you must wondering? Well to create something original means that the content all started from you, meaning there was no inspiration to start it.
For example, the iPhone is not an original invention. Apple did not start technology. They were inspired by other technology, and that technology was made from materials like metal, silver, plastic. And no one of course invented metal, because its a natural resource from earth.
So ideas are made from critical thinking by remixing and combining ideas to become useful. Or ideas could come from learning from mistakes, for example, a diaper. No one wants there baby’s underwear to be covered in the faeces, so they learnt from that mistake to come up with disposable, comfortable underwear, called a diaper.
That is how ideas are made, critical thinking, remixing and learning from yours and other mistakes.
