The value of an idea often emerges over time. What seems odd now might later seem to be brilliant. What occurs to me as i read your post is that above all else, one should write down every idea they have. Keep a notebook, write them down, and review them now and again. This simple practice alone can make a person dramatically more effective as a creative person.

An idea is never impractical.
If noted by the right ones, it can be expanded upon, rearranged, bent, twisted and molded into something completely different.
It takes a reader/hearer of the idea in question, to have an open inquisitive mind. One that doesn't know how to "settle" for 'deficits'.

But if it is changed into something workable, then is it the same idea?

Like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich..
The bread is still bread. The peanut butter is still peanut butter. Neither of them are any different that the original.
Not like typical media today, (social, TV, radio etc)..
Much of the media seem to enjoy distortion.
They have bread. They have peanut butter. When nobodys looking, they scrape the peanut butter off the bread and give us baloney instead.

Kimberly, respectfully I disagree. Ideas can often be impractical due to technology being insufficient at the time (think airplanes in the 1800's), lack of the necessary knowledge base or funds to properly market a concept, or even an idea that in itself is great - but easily stolen by well placed competitors.
Sorry to be negative, but this is a great post & discussion.

Great discussion and I agree. I don't take offense to disagreement, it's natural and makes the world go round. I can use your insight as pieces of a bigger picture. I learn from you too. :-)
I was making reference only to the generalization of 'ideas'..
Ideas aren't impractical in and of themselves. Sometimes it takes quite a while for ideas to materialize, sometimes yes they are stolen (ok, maybe more than sometimes. It's already happened to me) sometimes they are improved upon by someone else etc..
When those things occur, it's not the ideas that were impractical, it's typically due to faulty implementation. or, sadly enough, because we trust in ones we shouldn't trust. (stolen ideas)
