28、 I see your picture?”Garrison handed over his sketch.

29、n, he asked me to let him plant the corn.”Garrisons throat tightened. “I know Im not like either of you.” Pa looked at the drawing again.“No, you are like both of us. You work hard, like Thomas.

36、munication, to our day-to-day lives. It has undoubtedly changed the way our society works, and how we communicate with one another and ourselves.

37、vity to exist(存在)on. Through technology, ideas can be set free and come to life in the physical world. We have the necessary tools for greater possibilities and new solutions.

41、nderful way is to take daily walks in the nature. It can help you reset, rebalance, and keep going.

42、 or reading. The key to the survival(生存)of our creativity starts with us. Will you put your phone away when spending time with friends? Will you try to find happiness and purpose outside of a screen? The actions you choose to take will help change the relationship between creativity and technology f
