Motion In Balance

I have to say I am befuddled as to what I should write after more than a long enough period of contemplation in regards to the Neil Gershenfeld and Louis Kahn articles. Heres two intricately intelligent indivuals, obviously successful in their own rights and crafts discussing, from what I was to gather, one of man's greatest qualities - his/her creative mind. Although both articles go about different avenues for discussion, they both focus on mans drive to createGershenfelds article was fascinating in that his program of "How to Make (almost) Anything" saw individual users designing and creating solutions to questions they posed themselves. In a society that is becoming ever more individualized, questions and problems are going to arise that stem from an individual level, a level that varies from person to person. With this, Gershenfelds reality that is the "fablab" does just that, creates real solutions to individual, varying questions in the form of personal fabrication, with answers based solely on that individuals creative mind. Now what I pulled from Mr. Kahn's article took a little more insight but revolved around a similar idea - the "desire" for what does not exist harkens ones creative juices, "desire brings the new need." Much to my thoughts throughout Kahns article, my blog entry is quite rambled, but what I have taken from both readings is that we as a collective mankind are driven to find answers and these answers stem from man's creative mind, both on an individual and communal level.
