How the ideas born?

I have found a presentation of an interesting book which explains how the inventions ARE born.
The book is written by Jonah Lehrer and the title is “ Imagine: How creativity works”.
At first the author talks about “little inventions that have changed the world”: for example in 600’s (17th century) the three most revolutionary inventions were the (PRINTING) press, the muslin and the gunpowder.
Then he supports the argument that only the curiosity, nonconformism and “impatience” against all forms of old rules which trap the imagination, are the rights ingredients to get (better PRODUCE) a creative imagination.
Lehrer quotes David Hume: innovation is at first “a new way to recombine” things already known…

What do you think about that?

Very well written.   Note that, as far as I am aware, only Italians describe the second millenium centuries in terms of their year numbers (100s, 200s etc).
