No one knows what we are going to become in future, but today we are just consumers. We use computers, cars, mobile phones without knowing how they …(3). There is one main reason for that — none of us can know everything in the world. Everyone devotes his or her life to some specific job and usually does not care about anything else except it. However, in our free time we do begin seeking for new things around us, for our own small discoveries.

For example, imagine what our life would be like if we did not read books or newspapers. We would never be aware of the events happening in the world and most of our free time we would be sleeping or walking to and fro.
