Response: Kelly's "Intellectual Property"

In response to Kelly’s blog on intellectual property, I second her opinion on the effects of growing technology. Kelly points out that many skeptics believed that advances in technology would steer youth away from innovative thinking. Instead, it has opened an entirely new world to the art of thinking by presenting inventions and creative ideas that are in a sense revolutionary to most of us. From a personal view, when I was younger and used a regular desktop computer, I never thought that one day there would be a computer that you could navigate by touching the screen. Apple is planning on releasing a complete computer that mimics the tasks performed by an iphone but on a larger scale. To think something as advanced as this has been produced in less than 10 years since the age of the normal desktop is amazing. This goes to show that advances in technology do not hinder people’s willingness to think outside the box with creative ideas, instead it shows people what is possible and encourages them to make a good technology even better.
