With the way ideas are constantly evolving and technology also progressing, the opportunities given to people in this era are totally different to the people 100 years ago for example. “The advancement of the arts, from year to year, taxes our credulity and seems to presage the arrival of that period when human improvement must end.” This is a quote from Charles Holland Duell who was a commissioner in the US; he also famously said, “Everything that can be invented has been invented.” He was born in 1850 and died at the age of 69, yet 30 years later a television was created and cars rule the road and many more which in my opinion is a prime example of however many times we underestimate the development of our creativity.

I think that being authentic is to think outside of the box, it might sound cliché but for me to be truly authentic an idea has to be extraordinary but also an idea has to be strange or unfamiliar to the standard way the subject is done. A person who I believe to fit the category of being completely authentic is Gaudi, the famous architect created a space that even people today wonder how he designed. His Sagrada Familia cathedral is still being built today because of his completely original blue prints, and for me that is the epitome of authentic.

In conclusion i believe that people will always be capable of authentic ideas and creative thinking.
