The purpose of a flashlight is to provide light; however, Ann Makosinski improves the technology making it more accessible to people without electricity. In demonstrating how technology has broadened creativity, Anne Kingston uses this to show that Generation Z uses their innovations to self identify themselves by finding solutions and not only creating resources. (that doesn’t really make sense, maybe say since equality is a part of who generation Z is she uses technology to reflect her believes, therefore making it a self identifier, which then relates to your next couple of sentences) In doing so, the flashlight that would have been perceived as a mean for attaining light is now an innovation that embraces equality, since the new flashlight can be better acquitted in different regions around the world that necessarily don’t have electricity, therefore finding a solution to make it more accessible. Anne Kingston uses the innovation to demonstrate that the improvements made to the innovation allows for a better use and purpose for the innovation which can only be brought to the world through Generation
