What do you know....prompts

•  Where do you get your news?
•  Has the place you've gotten your news changed over the years? Where did you get it 10 years ago?
•  Are there any news outlets you avoid?
•  What do you rely on more: intuition or fact?
•  What person do you trust to always tell you the truth?
•  What is your most trusted source for factual information?
•  Do you believe what you read on Wikipedia, or do you think the group pooling of information is problematic?
•  How would you feel if there was only one news source in the world? Worried about their power or relieved because it would reduce information overload?
• Do you believe that knowledge or strength is power? Would you rather know a lot or be very strong?
•  Do you read tabloids? Do you believe them?
•  Do you know anyone famous? What have they taught you about celebrity?
•  Should people stick to the facts when relaying a story, or should they up hyperbole to convey the emotions of the event?
•  Do you like to observe things for yourself, or do you prefer people to tell you things?
•  How do you know what you know? Do you ever worry you have the wrong facts?
•  Have you ever listened to someone else tell a different version of events? How did it make you view your own recollections?
•  Do you think life would be boring if we had all the answers to our important questions?
•  How do you keep from forgetting the things you know?
•  Do you think it's true that you'll know your heart's desire when you see it? Or do you think people are doomed to never truly know themselves?
•  Why is know-it-all an insult, but intelligence is a compliment?
•  Have you ever gotten in trouble for pretending to know something you didn't?
• Tell us one thing you are absolutely positive is true.

Knowledge is power...or is it strength is power?

Do you believe that knowledge or strength is power? Would you rather know a lot or be very strong?

Unplugged

You would think allowing your kids to hole up and play video games would be a dream.

You are no longer a taxi driver.
There is little to no fighting...in fact there is little to no actual conversation
The house is clean and no-one is messing it up
The house is quiet.


However, I am mean.

There is something to learn about interacting with real people. You know, people who actual


If I would let them they would play all day everyday
They push that limit line as far as they can.

So many options to distract our brains from reality:
Instagram,
Wii
FB
texting
game apps
