Raul Cuero's Interview
After watching Raul Cuero’s interview, I was inspired by his drive and motivation. As a young child, Cuero grew up in an extremely poor family even to the point where they did not have access to water. Through his strong determination and hard work, he was able to become an intelligent microbiologist.
Within Cuero’s interview the topic of creativity was discussed, in which I agreed and disagreed with some of the different points he made. With today’s technology, it is believed that people have lost their ability to be creative. In some ways, this can be true because children are so engulfed in technology that they sometimes forget to be kids. Instead of playing outside, children can often be found inside watching television or playing on their tablets. However, the way that people show their creativity has changed over time. Today, people can show their creativity through graphic design or by using three dimensional figures on computers. This type of creativity is now possible because of the technology that was created, which was not available in earlier generations.
Another subject Cuero talked about was intensity. This is something that directly relates to my personal life. When I was listening to his response, I entirely agreed with everything that he stated. In order to succeed with the best results possible someone must use full intensity and effort. I noticed within my own life that if I try my hardest in school, athletics, and working I will receive the best results. Many people are scared to try their hardest because they are afraid of rejection or failure. Failing is one of the most productive ways to learn from the mistakes that were made. Learning by experimenting and doing is another important point that Cuero made in his interview. Rather than just reading and trying to absorb information, a hands-on approach may be more helpful. I find what Cuero said to be true because I have realized that I retain information better by actually experimenting and working with it.
I agree with what you said on technology and creativity in our generation. I do feel like children are too wrapped up in technology rather than going outside playing games like kids used to. But, I do also think that our technological era is creating new creativity. I think it is important that children use technology because that plays such a key role in our society.
