Imagine an action movie where the hero faces a bomb quickly counting down-there is one decision to be made: Do you cut the blue wire or the red one? The lives of the hero and countless civilians hang in the balance. The decision must be made swiftly-but the wrong choice would be disastrous.
Now imagine an assembly line. Your mission is to take a widget and fit it onto an object-again and again and again as the objects roll past in a slow-motion parade.
Some would find the adrenaline rush of the hero's task exhilarating; others would relish the rhythms of the assembly line's measured cadences. And still others could not imagine doing either one!
