Like most things, it’s probably somewhere in between. There’s a reason stages exist where a small percentage output, while the rest input. Look at amphitheaters for an example. The problem isn’t the human nature, it’s the ease of accessibility to the quick superficial info. You can feel like an expert for a few minutes, then forget a topic and never use it. Before computing existed, boredom was a driver for creative pursuits. Now boredom is an anxiety sink because we lose the urge to “play” creatively. The issues start with children and continue into adulthood. Boredom is good, it squeezes new ideas out with pressure. As it stands now, the pressure is constantly pushing ideas back in, no internal thought stands a chance. There are mathematicians opposed to hearing new theories before they contemplate them personally, so as not to be influenced. It’s easy to think in terms of some else’s structure, and I believe that society is moving there on the whole. These internet behemoths love the profits the eyeballs bring, but long term I envision a far less creative populace. Thanks for the work on BrowserBox, I’m going to give it a run.
