Ctrl+Z life

In some context we were discussing about experimental learning. Somehow the meaning of experimental learning seems to have become do something and see if that thing works. In this age of computers, and ctrl+z (undo); I see people hardly stopping to think. The sequence of actions seems to have become - do, then see, then undo, and keep redoing till we somehow convince ourselves that, whatever we have done is good (mostly we think it is the best :-)).

I see these people managing their life also in this do/undo sequence. Somehow we seem to have forgotten we need time to do anything, and as we keep doing the same thing, we lose more than one non renewable resource such as time, health, our reputation and so on. I also think most of us have forgotten that, most of the things in life that we do, can't be undone.

Why can't we take some time to think? Where has the wisdom of look before you leap gone? I believe in our quest for more, we have given up the quest for perfection.
