It’s easy to get preoccupied with the immediate when you’re in a rush. Taking a step back to experience things more fully often gives perspective and focus that can be lost in the daily grind. Sometimes it’s easy to forget why we do the things that we do. On that note, here’s a quote from former executive editor of Harvard Business Review, Nicholas Carr:

"The scariest thing about Stanley Kubrick’s vision wasn’t that computers started to act like people but that people had started to act like computers. We’re beginning to process information as if we’re nodes; it’s all about the speed of locating and reading data. We’re transferring our intelligence into the machine, and the machine is transferring its way of thinking into us. "
