Is it really Copy/Paste or inspiration?

In that same documentary, Ferguson exposes musical idols like Led Zeppelin, or fantastic filmmakers who copied, modified, and compiled scenes from other films to create their masterpieces, like George Lucas with Star Wars, or Quentin Tarantino with Kill Bill.


To be honest, in most cases we need to draw on other people's creations in order to innovate and produce something new. As Ferguson points out, emulation is necessary in order to create. That is why artists invest many years of training copying great composers or painters, before defining their own style and producing their own works.

According to Ferguson, " the most dramatic results can be all mobile company name list achieved by combining ideas ." For example, Ford produced the first mass-produced car in 1908, the Fort T, by putting together different inventions such as the assembly line (1867), interchangeable parts (1801) and the automobile (1885). Yuval Noah Harari agrees with this view and recounts in his book "Sapiens, A Brief History of Humankind" that Daoist alchemists (those who study the Tao) discovered gunpowder while searching for the elixir of life in China, and used it for fireworks for 600 years until someone invented the cannon. Even we ourselves are genetic copies of our parents.

Apparently, copying, transforming and combining is not something of this generation, but rather part of our DNA. It is just important to recognize what inspired our creation and if we do not add anything additional, and simply do Copy/paste, then, let us cite the source.
