Restlessly Produce or Sedately Consume?

I’ve been reading XKCD for a few years now, and have found their comics to always be a nice distraction from the otherwise busy work day.  Sometimes, among the many “good ones” there is an occasion “great one” that emerges.

Chances are if you’ve wandered across my blog you probably have an iPhone, Dare, Crackberry, or one of the other Smart Phones out there, and might even be planning on getting a Droid sometime soon. The below strip got a nice chuckle, got me thinking more about my upcoming Droid purchase, and sparked an interesting discussion with my latest roommate Ben.

The strip really struck me because of it’s Droid vs iPhone reference but also the quote in the middle panel. After the many conversations I’ve been having lately with my occasionally pseudo-philosophical roomie, this is a topic that comes up between us often.

Is it better to restlessly produce, or sedately consume?

What is your opinions on the topic?
