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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
