Think about the quote above. What does this mean to you? How could this apply to your life? How could this apply to your school work (especially Web Design!)? I would love to give you less work in class if it meant you were going to focus harder on the work. Do you think you would get more out of it? Would that work for you? Why or why not?
To me the quote above is a very idealistic view on society, one hat will likely never be achieved. With the thousands of distractions appearing in the modern world, it is extremely difficult to focus completely on one task or idea for prolonged periods of time. Instead, our world has now morphed into a place in which people try to do more with less focus, a practice that is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, with focus becoming so difficult to attain, being able to get more things done with less focus is a skill that will become valuable in coming years. However, the disadvantages of this practice exist as well. For example, not having complete focus means that difficult tasks such as music and philosophy will become scarce. Personally, having more focus and doing less would not work for me because I prefer breadth over depth in my learning, especially in school.
