This document discusses digital tools that can be used to disrupt habitual ways of thinking and enhance creativity.

These tools can be used to collaboratively share ideas, present information in unexpected ways, and spark new perspectives when working with others in different locations. The document advocates embracing the present moment and seeing it as a place for change, rather than solely preparing for an unknown future.

20. “When preparation is made at the controlling end, then the
potentialities of the present are sacrificed to a suppositious future.
When this happens, the actual preparations for the future is missed or
