Can we blame it on the educational system or FaceBook? One of the frustrating things about trying to do business in a digital world is that the more technology does for us, the less people want to do for themselves.

What does this say about the generation of people we are dealing with? THE take-away for this is that if you are now reading this, chances are you are definitely a higher-functioning being. Time to get back to work. It’s been a slice.
