After watching the short clip of Ashton Kutcher's acceptance speech what did you take away from his advice? What does this quote mean to you -"Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use."

The things that influence our choices and guide us through our days was made up by someone no smarter than us. Through ideas and creativity the most successful devices we created to help aid the world through nothing more than a garage. With many inventions; some to good use some to shame, the accomplishment comes up from mistakes that were created by an everyday person. My mom's godson came up with an idea simple but useful called clusterflunk. Over an idea him and his friends had in high school they developed the product then patented it. Over the course of a few years he sells the product to be used by major colleges like ISU and many others. Within this time he had created a tool to be used by college students from all over and the thought was created through ordinary people in the middle of Iowa.
