Continuing on from last time. I want
to talk about humans and how we develop ideas. The way humans discover and
invent things, is that we see something and adapt it. How was the wheel made?
someone would have seen a log and noticed how it rolled and improved the
design. Well we still do that, with everything. Now if you are noticing a trend
between the start of this post and the last, and the title, here it is. Copying
is how we learn, we copy to gain understanding a knowledge which we adapt to
create new ideas. As we put gates around
our ideas and technologies, we as a race are unable to progress. This is why,
the copyright laws are harmful.
Thomas Edison did not invent the light
bulb, he just improved it. Bob Dylans first Album was cover songs. This is why
we as a species need copying, we learn from it. No one can start from the
ground up. It doesn't work like that.
When Industry is too focused on who
copied what, we lose what is most important to begin with. Progression. which
is the main goal of our civilization, and what our future steps are towards
globalization.
so this is why I consider Copy right,
and copyright wrong. (see what i did there?)
I urge you all to check out the most
eye opening documentary by Kirby Ferguson, it is called 'Everything is a
Remix'. and you can watch it for free on his website. Watch it here

Good utilisation of ideas. It could be better if you used some scholarly sources. While a video is great for connecting with your audience, it would help to connect your ideas with some evidence and bring your own unique, cohesive argument or point of view to the topic. Develop your critical thinking and you'll be well on your way to some great ideas.
Consider using some pictures to break up the text and better utilise your platform to your advantage.
