Concrete Thinking

I have realized that over time, we are losing our ability to think on our own. Years ago if you had a problem you would solve it by yourself. You would sit down and reason the ways of doing something. Sometimes it was trial and error,  but eventually you got the answer. Nowadays, we rely on an electronic device. When we started searching, we stopped thinking. We use calculators to do our math and You Tube to teach us most other things. My generation seems to be the last one who exercised our brains.
