On the off chance that you think innovation has been around just for the last couple of hundred years, you would be incorrect. Ever since the time fire was invented and the wheel was designed, and considerably prior, individuals have been overseeing innovation. As of late, it has frequently started to appear that innovation is overseeing us.

We don't walk to class because there are automobiles. We stare at the TV because there is TV to watch. We never quit talking, on the grounds that there are telephones. We don't visit family and companions since we can do "remote visiting" by telephone or webcam. In the following couple of years, the world will come into your family room in more ways, and we will need to endeavor less and less to achieve increasingly.

Individuals assert that innovation has arranged for time for us to be more inventive. Yet, individuals have been amazingly inventive all through the historical backdrop of humankind, when innovation was primitive by present-day norms. A lot of that innovative vitality and virtuoso went towards upgrading innovation itself, however it additionally went towards music, writing and human expressions. Shakespeare worked out his incredibly substantial volume of work with plume pens on material paper. Considerably more as of late, Tolkien composed every one of the volumes of "The Lord of the Rings" without the advantage of a PC. Today, a secondary school understudy in the western world would feel lost without a mini-computer and a PC.

That does not, as a matter of course, mean individuals are turning out to be less insightful. It demonstrates that the cerebrum adjusts to new circumstances, and reallocates its assets where they are required. In any case, it requires consistent vigil to guarantee that the human personality stays in control of the innovation, as opposed to getting to be reliant on it.

So what might be the perfect approach to oversee new advances as they emerge? In a perfect world, to grasp and acclimatize them, and use them to expand the productivity of our yield, arranging for time for imaginative movement and for definitive delights of life which require no innovation by any means — walking around the recreation center, playing with a youngster or composing a sonnet.

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
