Default I need to know the strengths and weakness of MS Word for a pap

My point is not that they don't *want* to think, but that they don't
think they have to. They're not lazy, though. They just don't
understand why they should take the *time* to think.

Thinking takes time. Time they could have multi-tasked 7-8-9 different
things. There's always someone to ask for the answer. Someone has
already thought, why not just access The Stream (borrowing from an Outer
Limits episode)? It's not that they want someone else to do their
homework for them, this *is* their version of doing their homework.

become of their children if there's no one left to create new templates or
lists?
