Necessity is the mother of invention. Some humans are very inventive.

It's really mind blowing how they're actually capable of creating anything. Humans are Gods their selves.

I find extremely old technology interesting. Sometimes they can help explain how more modern things work as they are often simply upgrades of the same things. When making something new it’s always good to take another look at the drawing board.

Some people are deep thinkers, some people are not.

Incredibly smart inventions are usually born out of unfulfilled need or want to have ir do something. My most creative concepts frequently come from transferring ideas from one area to a completely different area and trying to apply it.

For example, the biomimicry invention of velcro came the inventor's experience with sticky brambles!

Necessity and competition breed creativity and ingenuity.
