Chpt 2

"Abundance, Asia, and Automation," this chapter gave me an overwhelming feeling of being a slacker. Abundance stated how the US has far to much supplies and products that things are taken for granted easily. He talked about the drive into Washington D.C. , with its many shopping complexes. 
The Asia one I think gets to me the most. I have great parents who pushed me to get into lot of activities and school. With all of there pushing efforts, it never made me better in english or math. I loved history and science! I could never be a doctor, lawyer, or accountant. Daniel Pink doesn't give credit to the other jobs that make up for all that doctors, lawyers, and accountants lack. It touched a nerve cause, I wish the L or R side of the brain with that knowledge would wake up one day. 
The Automation leaving our lives to computers. I think we could get along just fine with out cellular devices and computers (WiFi). I see it as US uses it as a pedestal, if it were not to work, it would be a lot like when my cell phone is broken, i could write a letter; use a pay phone; or landline. And well after the first time I learned to carry and address book of my friends and family. People can adapt, we've been doing it for centuries!
