Originality
Depending on who you listen to, modern humans have been around for quite some time, 10000's to millions of years. Within that time, billions upon billions of humans have existed, reasoned and thought up the world that now surrounds us.
My question is if original thought exists anymore...
Is it possible that there is no such thing as originality anymore? That we've hit the proverbial ceiling of our creativeness as humans?
My opinion is this: truly original thought is VERY rare and magnificent. Take a look at the internet. It's only been around for probably 30 years or so (Al Gore and whatnot).....but its been based off of hundreds of thousands of ideas....which have been based off of an infinite amount of other ideas. It may have been original in the sense of "the next piece of the puzzle--we have computers and phones, lets put them together"...... you get the idea.
Your thoughts?
