I've noticed that it seems like people have lost the ability to sit still and think. With technology now a days there is an endless supply of entertainment. You can go on YouTube and watch how a brain turns into mush by watching YouTube. So many people feel the need to constantly be entertained that they have lost the ability to "wonder why" to ask "how does that work," or to simply just think about their own life.
I have heard colleagues and peers discuss that the "deep thinker" has all but died out. Do you want to know how Sir Isaac Newton discovered gravity? He thought about it! He saw an apple fall and asked "why?" He didn't see it fall and then just ignore it just to resume playing angry birds, he took a step back and thought about it.
So with a tip of the hat I leave you with this, put it down, turn it off, and think.
