The inventor—a fulfillment

Creative talent differs greatly from one person to the next, not only in degree
but in preferred outlet. Mozart might have turned to painting if there were no
musical instruments for which to compose, but there is no particular reason to
believe that his paintings would be as good among the work of painters as his
music is judged to be among that of musicians. Generativity solicits invention,
which in turn can be an important expression of the inventor—a fulfillment of
a human urge that is thought to represent some of the highest endeavor and
purpose of which we are capable. New technologies welcome new groups of
people who may excel at manipulating them.
