How are you today? How’s the weather? What is (x) when four (x) equals twenty? How many questions have you asked today? The answer is probably more than you can count on both hands. It is a fact; you and I have asked at least one question today. Whether we asked ourselves a question or someone else, did you get an answer? If you didn’t, odds are you Googled it. This week’s TIME Magazine is called “The Answer Issue”, leading me to believe, humans will never be fully satisfied with the knowledge already downloaded in their mind, we will always ask ourselves about any new innovation, and how getting answers now is easier than ever before.

How often do I blink? Are American families shrinking? Which city has the most billionaires? How many photos will we take this year? How far away are we from mom? Where is the safest place to live? All of these questions are just a few from this week’s TIME. Every Saturday at ten thirty I go to the mail box and retrieve the mail. Upon the countless bills and statements is my weekly TIME Magazine. TIME is the leading current news magazine in the world.
