I wonder how long we have been creating mashups for? It seems to be hardwired into our creativity code to take separate things and create something new from them. I suppose this is the very essence of invention.

I have always believed it to be important to see beyond the obvious uses for things and to stretch them, push them and innovate. Innovation does not come from acceptance, it is sparked by challenge.

  1. Dear Tom, your son's mashup was on my computer screen. my daughter walked past and said 'cool, a lionasaur' as if its the most usual thing to see. The language around mashups could be an interesting area to study. Have a good day
