Originality or Plagiarism?
-Mark Twain maintained that "all ideas are second-hand, consciously and unconsciously drawn from a million outside sources."
-Steve Jobs famously proclaims that "creativity is just connecting things."
I agree with these two statements. There is always going to be someone out there who has had the idea before you. The ideas that people think of have already been thought of by someone else, in the past. Most of the ideas have been thought but now put into action. Creative geniuses are simply compiling and remixing second hand ideas and borrowed art.
