In Kirby Ferguson's ted talk, "Embrace the Remix," he gives various examples, such as singer Bob Dylan and creator Steve Jobs, and explains how they have stolen ideas from singers and inventors in the past. Though copying someone else's work is often frowned upon, Ferguson's tells us that it is something we should embrace. As long as you are making something your own, it is okay to use ideas from others as inspiration. I think he makes a very good point because often times we get preoccupied with inventing or creating something of our own. There is a constant battle of being the first or a constant fear of accidental plagiarism. However, if we just create the things that we want to create, maybe with the help of some ideas we have seen before, we are more likely to make something beautiful in our artwork, rather than wasting time and stressing about being a copycat.
