Yesterday
after reading this
great piece by Ollin Morales on the Courage to Create blog I did what a
dutiful blog reader does: I shared it. (hint hint)
I shared it
because it talks about technology and how our addiction to it has dehumanized us in many ways. He said technology may make things easier and more accessible,
it may fill our lives with information and data but it does not provide
knowledge.

I agreed
with Ollin so much that I shared his post (another hint) and really tried to
take his message to heart. Deep, spiritual, fulfilling knowledge like the
origin of the soul and the irreplaceability of true friendship cannot be found
through technology.
I agreed.
Then I
pulled up the Map My Run app on my iPhone, stuck my earbuds in, chose a podcast
from the HBR library and set out for a run.
Under Armored and plugged in, I let my high tech
running shoes strike pavement and I ran.
The first
podcast was about motivation and the guests had written an article about two
distinct types of motivation. They called the types promotional and
preventional.
