Nourishing Creativity

For those who haven’t heard about it, TED is a multidisciplinary conference for experts from technology, entertainment, and design industries. They just updated their web site and while browsing around it I found this very interesting presentation about creativity by Ken Robinson.

One of the main points Ken makes is that penalizing people for failing when they try new things is killing creativity. His talk concentrates on education systems, but I think the same mechanisms exist in the industry.
