But as with most things in life it is important to strike a balance. To cultivate creativity we must still challenge ourselves to activities that force us to think or create on our own and enable us to dabble in different interests.

Anyone else in?

I used to daydream all the time and now all I do is try to read what everyone else is thinking about!

I think creative thinking courses would be awesome!

Without having to sort through it all, he is giving himself time to digest and think about the information at hand.

It’s not about not receiving news, its more about the way we process it. Allowing time, or scanning through the next article.

You’re right! I do seem to daydream less now that I have all these technology toys. Maybe it should be taught in school? Instead of creative writing classes there should be mandatory creative thinking courses.

Not sure I believe that Mikhail Prokhorov is totally unplugged because he doesn’t have a cell phone. I think Abbie is right – he probably has staff that keeps him looped in all the time.

Checking my email, twitter, facebook, etc. does make the time go by faster when I’m on the train, waiting in line and when I’m working out but I do feel like it takes its toll. I’m not as impatient or irritated if there’s a delay but I’m certainly exhausted by the time I get home.

What happened to the idea of “daydreaming?” How will the next generation be taught creativity and how to daydream? They will probably have an app that does that for them.
