In the world of creativity, if you're not starting a fire, then what's the point? So, we've created a portal to celebrate the most revolutionary and thought-provoking ideas we're seeing in the world today. Some are ideas we've recognized from others and we're tipping our hats to, and others are ones we thought of (go figure). Either way you cut it, you won't find a dull moment here, and hopefully we've inspired you to start your own fire.
Oh Apple, you’ve come so far in the style world. Check out some of these totally 80s fashions for Apple, circa 1986.

Imagine making a burrito with just a push of a button. Marko Manriquez, a student from the Tisch School of the Arts, came up with a brilliant idea that does just that. With the use of 3D printing, this bot is a platform for ‘prototyping and tracing the source of food in our lives to reveal hidden issues revolving around fast food: labor practices; environmental consequences; nutritional values.’ This technology is currently in prototype phase, but Manriquez plans to create a control app for mobile devices such as iPhone and iPad, leading up to an even bigger idea: a Mobile Printed-Burrito Truck.
