Life changing experience

Life changing experiences could start at any moment of our lives.

you could be sitting on the toilet and an idea may pop out (which often does, no pun intended :P), and it could be a life changing experience.

You could meet a stranger, and through their conversation an idea may pop out at you = could end up as a life changing experience or not.

With the constant technology updates and our usage on it, which leads to constant dependency on them.....we somehow become salves of technology. Well, not everyone on this planet, but almost everyone.

When my professor asked us to complete a simple task of writing down 100 questions of anything you can think of, just under 20min. At first I thought it would be a piece of cake, thinking bluntly of asking dumb ass questions such as: What is your phone number? What color is your car? and my favorite: How is cheese cake made?" and etc.
However after brainstorming things and trying to come up with better questions that may sound a bit more important than what color is your underwear. I concluded the fact that it is tough to come up with 100 questions that all for all are important in my life or anyone else's lives.

As the professor finally spit out his thought on why we had to do this little experiment of coming up with 100 questions. Out of the 100 questions only 20 may be filtered as been somewhat important, out of that 20, five may be filtered as important to your life or about others. He mentioned one thing that was very important to me at the time: 'You can't change everyone, only some or selective ones".

As he went on with his idea of how this class was about, he gave us an example of one of his idea of creating some sort of interactivity with a specific group of audience. His topic was on cancer. I was a little confused yet interested on this idea of his, as he continued with the details, my god I was completely sucked into this idea of creating a different imagery of how cancer can be used as an art form instead of been feared by many. This idea of his had made some kind of emotional impact on my thinking, how things such as rules/laws of nature, society, technology are capable to be bent into different forms, through your creativity and imagination.
