“I get really upset when I’m walking downtown and there are three young people walking toward me—all with their heads down. I try to make eye contact to say hello, good morning, and nothing. The disconnect there bothers me, and that’s going to get nothing but worse. I’ve got my iPhone and GPS and news anytime I want it. But my mindset is: I’m not married to this thing. I don’t have to look at it every five minutes. I can kind of use the technology for what I need. I feel pretty balanced that way. And I’ve made a conscious decision not to go with all the social-media stuff, because it takes up too much of my time. I can’t read a book. I can’t sketch. I can’t go to movies if I’m constantly tweeting somebody.” — Jerry Manock, Apple’s very first designer. (via curiositycounts)

“People who are highly creative often have odd thoughts and behaviors—and vice versa. Both creativity and eccentricity may be the result of genetic variations that increase cognitive…

It’s inappropriate for the article to frame creative people in such a way.  Let me make some adjustments for you, Brit…

Both creativity and eccentricity may be the result of genetic variations that increase cognitive disinhibition. [These genius individuals display the remarkable ability to process more information in quantities that the average person would be overwhelmed by and so usually must subconsciously filter out.] When unfiltered information reaches conscious awareness in the brains of people who are highly intelligent and can process this information without being overwhelmed, it may lead to exceptional insights and sensations”

There we go, that fixes that.  Now it describes Brit more accurately.
