Creativity and Play on TEDTalks
TED | TEDBlog: The powerful link between creativity and play: Tim Brown on TED.com
I really like this guy's presentation, especially since he has great examples, but also this insight about why kids play more with boxes than the toys that come in them.
Boxes offer an infinite number of choices.
Why do kids/college students/adults sometimes hate learning? My guess is somewhere along the way they stopped following their own interested in learning and felt forced to focus on just a few things (like standardized test material maybe?) It's sad, because learning can be the most fun human endeavor.
I really love TEDTalks and like to indulge myself on Fridays by listening to one or more while I work. This one was a special Sunday treat though.
