I have to say, all my nieces and nephews are very creative, AND fast on the internet and with video games! The fact that they can be seen in public typing away on their phones doesn't mean that they are not creative! Their creativity is different than ours (or mine at least!) because the world they are growing up in is different. I can sew, but don't ask me to can or mix my own starch! My grandmother considered those essential skills! They are also very active in their communities, and very politically aware and active. I fear that it is too easy to label someone as not using their creative brain because they do not practice the 'arts' that I practice! There are people young and old who appreciate something made by hand with love, and people of all ages who will think it is just junk, despite the love that goes into it!
