    Loved the video!

    I recently had a fun discussion with friends about what going to separate us from robots when they take over. 🙂

    And the answer that came up was “creativity”.

    If you look at evolution, creativity is what brought humanity to the top of the food chain.
    Humans were not born with claws, wings, or night version, but we had our minds which sparked creativity; our greatest attribute in a “hostile” environment.

    We learned how to mimic and adapt to our environments and not only survive but thrive, and ultimately conqueror our conditions.

    As we do get in more “automated age” in the years to come, however, my only hope is that humanity as whole will use automation as a crutch and lose what brought us to the top.

    Great point in the video when it referred to the CEO’s saying creativity is the most important skill to have during an economic downturn because it brings the subject of adversity.

    Because to survive adversity (in any form financial, physical, emotional) you got to be creative or you will die in one form another.

    I agree that we should use creativity at all times, not just through adversity but every waking moment of life. Creativity is an ability that we all have! It should celebrate, nurtured and constantly used in all aspects of life, and not just through the tough times.

    Going off on a tangent so I will wrap it up with saying that I love these videos and thank you for putting that creative energy out in the world! It is contagious!

      Thank you for you insightful comments Douglas. I couldn’t agree more, especially that creativity should be celebrated, nurtured, and used in all aspects of life.
