I wouldn't even apply the term "creative", honestly. I don't think creativity is necessary to say "I want A, I have B and C, how can A be accomplished with B and C?". > Perhaps for people who don't have a "hack the world!" mindset, it does appear as genius I suppose. I'm not sure that's right either. I wonder if instead it might just be a matter of culture, possibly even class. If you grew up always just buying the "right" things and only doing things the "right" way, then maybe you just never learn that a thing's "purpose" is just what it was designed to do, not all that it can do. > I used old bicycle parts and various bits of metal I had left over from other projects and made her a 3 foot tall T-Rex. See now this is actually what I'd call "creative", since something was actually created.
