In a time when technology is rapidly changing, the MIT App Inventor provides an excellent example of how to democratize the process of creation.

While the MIT App Inventor platform started out as a way to teach programming skills to young people, it has now evolved to become a powerful tool for creating mobile applications that anyone can use.

The App Inventor source code was released by Google and MIT yesterday as part of a three-month project to create a full-fledged App Inventor server for public use.
