Napster was a wonderful example of this. A teenager was able to create a service that was quickly utilized by millions upon millions of users. Of course Napster had a glaring flaw: company was trading in products created by others, and trading without consent of those who produced products. But heart of matter is that someone without substantial resources could build a highly-used, well-recognized brand out of little more than a creative idea. Using same infrastructure, surely someone will come up with another intriguing idea that will capture our imagination and a big audience, and it will probably happen soon. And next wave of creative Internet entrepreneurs will have learned from Internet crash and its aftermath.

The Internet isn't dead. It's just stumbling a bit while taking its toddler steps. Internet start-up ideas will continue to attract creative people, simply because free infrastructure invites innovation and resists control. Control is deathword to creativity. Creative people have shunned business for that reason alone. Yet in a world where creativity and innovation become critical elements for success, you bet creative people will begin to see commerce as an avenue of expression.

During high days of Internet exuberance, I used this column to make claim that business will be creative medium of early 21st century. I still believe it's true, simply because basic elements still exist a encourage a creative approach to business. The resources to support a new company do not require control so much as creative manipulation. Given this free and open canvas, creative people will rush in, despite lingering notion that business is somehow anti-creative.
