Everything is a Remix

As of now, the first three parts of a four part series are available for viewing. The series takes a look at how everything is really a copy of something that came before it, using three basic functions: copy, transform, and combine.

There are some pretty interesting examples of what "revolutionary" ideas are really just from something that came before it. The third episode talks a lot about how Apple (and Jobs) got most of their ideas from Xerox; the first episode focuses on how Led Zeppelin copied pretty much everything.

This is a really great series, and worth the forty or so minutes it takes to watch.
