> Philosophical food for thought: if all content is recycled / mixed from the past, when did innovation and creativity stop? Somewhere around 2016, when the golden Age of Internet-Content ended, as the last undiscovered part was added to the mix... But jokes aside, does innovation really need to be new? Or would it still innovative if you don't know it when you create something you for you? Take for example all the retro-waves which regularly come back, where people discover something for them completely new, and make up some for them completely new things, which the generations for them already did long ago. > In other words, if there is truly no such thing as an "original idea" Does Original mean 100% new? And would it demand that all parts are new, or would it still original if we just arrange old parts in a new way?
