REMIX

“There is no such thing as a new idea.It is impossible.We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope.We give them a turn and they make new and curious combinations. “

Creativity is just connecting things.

When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something, It seemed obvious to them after a while.

That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and SYNTHESIZE new things.

- Steve Jobs, 1995
