Raul Cuero's Creativity Interview

I enjoyed the video on Raul Cuero because his story is inspiring. He was born poor, and his upbringing helped him develop strong resilience and morals. He strove to work hard in school to make sure that he would have a good future and not end up poor again. He also wanted to do well in school because in America, racial stereotypes were very much against him. Despite this negative influence, he took it as constructive criticism and took to improving his own self. He became a microbiologist, inventor, and author.

He says that creativity stems from nature, and with the rise of technology, we are turning away from natural influence, and therefore people are being less creative. I disagree, because people can be creative in different ways. The rise of technology has led to an advent of all kinds of new ways to be creative, like in digital art, game development, video editing, and more. These new mediums can allow for all kinds of people to have access to the tools they need to be creative. I understand where he's coming from, however. Nature is a wonderful source of inspiration and power. It's a shame that most people don't see the value of it outside of economic use. But I digress, as that's a whole different topic to begin with...
