“Everyone is creative - but in the past, if you weren’t good at drawing in 4th of 5th grade, you gave up. You weren’t great at manual tasks so you never did woodwork. People became disassociated from the tools of production. And our educational system teaches you how to work for the man, crushing the creative spirit in an attempt to create drones for a capitalist system that won’t exist in twenty years. But now the technology is easy to use and the machinery’s cheaper than ever. So you can have an idea and execute it without having to go to art school or engineering school for eight years. What that means is that anyone and everyone can be an inventor. It’s not an industrial revolution; it’s a creative revolution.”

-Mark Hatch, CEO of TechShop, a center for innovation and invention.
