We live in a highly volatile environment. In order to keep a business or go into another business, a person must quickly respond to changes.
The child, if he is capable, must himself learn to select the necessary information and constantly maneuver in a changing environment.
I think people are far more reactive, but far less capable of making good decisions under pressure - as everything these days seems to be "high stress" no matter what the circumstances.
Life has accelerated. Too much information. Sometimes we need to take a break from the information flow. One website on the Internet, one news feed, one phone to contact relatives.
