Abstract
One of the attractive sides of technological developments in the twenty-first century is that people can have lots of free time for themselves. If someone has a minimum income he may be able to live comfortably with a lot of time for entertainments, as cheap and free things are available to satisfy the basic needs. One needs not have to toil hard in factories or in farms. But what is been denied to the young generation of today is the opportunity to live with a robust consciousness, with a healthy brain that constantly engages with work related activities by activating the complex hand-brain faculty, that helped humans to live a happy and flourishing life since the dawn of the current civilization.
