It does seem that time is important to critical thinking. And lack of time is why many of us do not engage in critical thinking. This is even more true when information is so readily available on the internet. Ironically, it shows why critical thinking is just that important. Sure there is info on the internet but we really need to know what info is useful, usable, valid and credible. Which of course requires critical thinking. So things come full circle. Socrates is smiling somewhere.
