Summary on TED: Tim Brown Tales of Creativity and Play

Creativity is inspired through the things that we play with. However, as we grow older, we play lesser and lesser and finally, we stop all together. This effects our creativity as without 'play' we can't widen our inspiration for creativity. This makes creating new stuff difficult as our creativity and imagination is small. From a young age, inspiration and creativity was with us. the games we played, be it board games or play pretend, it gives us lots of inspiration. When we get older, these things are considered embarrassing as we start to be conscious of what we are doing outside of our home. When adult mentality start to develop in a child's mind, the creativity and inspirational games we had dwindle. It got to the point where when we are older, the only creative part that we get to interact with are projects and post it notes. We have to stop limiting ourselves when we get inspired and create because what had stopped us when we were children? Start expressing our ideas freely even though it may not work. Don't limit ourselves just because we believe no one would like it. Everyone has creativity, it's whether or not you want to create it.
