I narrated this two minute presentation of my Creativity Cafe Concepts against a backdrop of the slides from my educators panel presentation at the prestigious SIGGRAPH International convention (where in 1998 I demonstrated a prototype Creativity Cafe in a weeklong exhibition). By a simple shift in approach and attitude, communities can harness the power of their creative people for local and global benefit. We can make a very big difference very fast (in the quality of life for Earths' peoples and in many other ways like global warming), especially if the leaders will catch-on, and cease and desist from NOT FIGURING HOW TO SHARE WITHOUT WAR AND GREED. Despite such incomprehensible actions (OK, I can see the reason why in previous mindset's, global development, consciousness and resource development). But now perhaps, this world would be a better place if all that mars energy were turned and focused on another shining star:

Creativity Cafe: a proposed network of multimedia venue's that shape shift to support and nurture each individual, and harnesses the solution oriented creativity and synergies-of-community-members in a neighborhood networking parlor, edutainment broadcast center and cyberplay space for the whole family - that HAS ALREADY BEEN DEPLOYED (only needing activation by Creativity Cafe Concepts)

I received a vision in 1980 of an artists resource and broadcast center that thanks to computer technology, could be many things to many people. What is needed most is education at the level a person needs it, mentoring in new tools, thought process and technologies and how patrons and the general public can be individually served mind food, resources and connections they/we need to succeed in making our lives more peace filled, our hearts and minds healed from fear and resentment, and a persons ability to be abundant doing what they love while benefiting others and our planet by practicing PRONOIA. I have attracted many teams. This video touches on some of the ideas presented over the 25 years of prototyping and focus groups.
