DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER!!!

The fast approaching future will be here in no time at all…

In fact,

whoosh,

there it was,

racing past us…

Always, we have decisions to make…

On the one hand,

there are the many things we ought to get done…

Daily lists of responsibilities what always need doin’

On the other hand,

four fingers and a thumb likely grasping a mobile type device and seeking idle distraction…

In the back and forth between mindless tasks and mindless distractions…

It can sometimes become a mystery why we need a mind at all.

I’m not saying it’s our fault,

no it certainly isn’t our fault…

I’m blaming you.

And you should too.

Because you of all people know

that there is always something productive you can be doing

to keep your mind active and engaged in the world around you…

In fact you’re doing it right now

By tuning into This Week in Science,
