How to rethink the way we think?

Think about it. If you've been driving for any length of time you get in the car, insert the key, and within a matter of moments you're cruising down the road. Through repetition and time these behaviors have become hard-wired and don't require much conscious thought.

It wasn't that way when you first learned to drive. For example, if you didn't drive automatic,but change gears with a stick shift, you probably remember quite a few stalls and jerky starts. But there came a time when you found yourself sailing along in fourth gear and don't remember shifting to get there.

That's the power of hard-wired neurons. They are highly efficient and enable routine behaviours to happen easily, freeing up the brain to focus on new things that require compare and contrast decisions – which is an energy-intensive activity. It's why we can feel so tired after doing nothing but making decisions.

Likewise we are now told Chicago,USA has a hotel without a check-in desk as it is done by a machine that scans the QR code from your mobile phone or iPad to release the key to your door of your room. 

Whilst technology can come as a substitute in numerous things you choose to do today,lack of human contact, lack of speaking to one another,lack of personal contact but using the SMS to relay our messages with one another, could be frustrating to say the least,in the long term. This is because our brains need a stimulus to be creative.Feelings and emotion are hard if not impossible to replicate through technology.
