Vagaries of the human brain

Had a few bad outcomes today-- actual remnants from previous day's rushed orders.
It has made me think about how the human brain falters and does not make the correct synaptic links.

On the Desk today had a most enjoyable exchange with a patron about brain plasticity.
I was putting forward my hypothesis that 'fast foods' and computers make people less patient and less inclined to hang in there to delve into an issue or 'read and learn' and that people want their gratification instantly. I term this the"mcdonaldisation of thinking".
Italians have a phrase for this : tutto, pronto e subito--- i want it all & i want it now!! -- flows much better in italian. :-))
It is much more pleasant when we can engage with patrons beyond just turning them over like hamburgers.

Return of the prodigal angel

After an absence of 18mths....I'm back!. I can understand how addictive the internet and blogging can be. Useful if you have some necessary things to ask from a specific or special interest groups but otherwise it's just littering cyberspace. Oh well, I suppose it can keep some people off the streets but let's see if we can use this for good instead of evil -- to paraphrase Maxwell Smart!
