Critical Thinking Questions

   In the readings for this past week, there were some quality points being proved and addressed. The " Joy of Boredom " and the "32 innovations " had a lot of  useful details that made  me sit down and try to sink all in. As I do that process and re-track to myself, I tend to question things and second guess anything that I feel sounds too good to be true. It is a sign of a true thinker who knows how to comprehend knowledge.

Questions 1-3
When reading through the 32 innovations I found a lot of interesting points and facts that made me do some thinking. In all of honesty, do you think a creative mind is more useful then the hardest working soul? How much better can these movies keep looking? Can it keep producing more frames at a faster rate on the screen?  I know some people who drink the old plain coffee, so with all these innovations and upgrades will the coffee demand drop?

Question 4
 A question that I've gave a lot of thought to after reading the " Joy of Boredom " reading is how much fun was being bored back when technology wasn't around as much would be? It is never really given thought because we have all these nice flat screen TV's and ipads that keep us distracted and entertained even when we are bored and have nothing to do. It can sometimes even be a downfall to all of the procrastination that one does. As hard as that is to believe, as far as a few decades ago there were no forms of cellular devices or flat screen televisions. Most people used the radio to get through the day and then watch television when  it had something good on. That is why people used to be more active and exercise more. Children even used to be more active in the community or neighborhood athletics activities and  be in better shape back then also. The modern day society has become far more lazy and complacent.I honestly think it would be far worse to be bored back then however. Although it was easier to stay in shape and be active in the community, you were really bored and with nothing to do if your friends were not around or once it got to a late time of the day. There were more strict parents and less activities/distractions to get into that would leave you doing the usual two things, watching the family TV or listening to your radio.
