Sitting Around Doing Nothing

Tweet

I'm not sure if this is the same worldwide, but here in America we are taught to have a strong work ethic--that we must always be productive. It's just the way America has been since it's founding. However, we tend to think of "work" as something that involves constant production, and if we're not actively doing something or producing something, then we're not technically "working." But if you think about it, more and more of what we call "work" is being taken care of by machines--computers, robots, automation systems, etc. But interestingly, what machines [/i]can't[i] do, and probably will never be able to do, is sit around and think of solutions to problems. Machines will most likely never be able to think of new products to build, new markets to conquer, new and age-old problems to solve, or further ways to advance mankind. That's where we come in! Human imagination and brain power will always be needed, and here's the great part that I love--sitting around and doing nothing will be more important than ever in the future! Because that's where our best ideas come from!
