As algorithms start creating news stories ,movie story lines and other seemingly creative pursuits, it is important to look at specific skills that a robot cannot master , at least anytime soon.
Here is a skill/attribute that transcends age, geography and other traditional barriers. It’s a skill that comes to humans at a very very early age and unfortunately we tend to lose it over time.
Since there is no formula to execute this skill, it must be difficult for a robot to master this.
Enough of prelude. We are talking about curiosity. The innate trait to question the current, explore ,try alternates , find new answers and blaze a new path.
Child is never afraid to discover, explore and satiate the curiosity. As a child grows society conditions it to routines, expectations, boundaries,traditions and the set ways of doing things.
Over time the individual loses the energy , ability and interest to be curious. This makes the individual actions routine, predictable and automatable. That’s a downward spiral.
Never stop being curious. It helps you enjoy Disney movies, discover new ideas and things ,helps you find answers and the truth!
When was the last time you got curious???
