The Lost Art of Wondering

The addiction to the phone itself is one thing, but the addiction to the answers it holds has changed the way our brains work.

a question came up, as they are prone to do. Neither of us knew the answer, and as naturally as breathing, she pulled out her phone and found out in less than 30 seconds. Our conversation resumed as usual, and that portion of it was resolved and wrapped up with a bow.

But it isn't just about the convenience of accessing information. There's a whole mental process here that's being erased. And what that's doing to kids and how it's changing their brains... well, I can't help but wonder.
