(1,957 posts)When you think back how so many inventions got started at a time when even tv was just a glimmer in the future the designer had plenty of quiet time to do his inventing. Music was another created at a time when the artist had much of the day to learn his craft and write the music that we so enjoy today.
Today's potential inventor have far too many distractions from Smart Phones, video games, computers and tv with 200 channels. By the time they sample all the distractions there is no time left to create.

Wait to ship something until 4 days before it's needed in a time period known for its "climate insecurity" and blame the shipper.

The first one's a little unfair since it really does break down according to age. A callow 16 year old with no real life experience will focus on the cars, Barbies and parties. Anyone out there old enough to be struggling to make ends meet on depressed wages will get the point.
