Now I'm wondering what Cicero wrote that was the closest thing to that quote. If you are wondering about something and don't make even the slightest effort to look it up, does it really count as curiosity? I did do a web search and found nothing much.
I think this might be part of what makes TV or social media attractive. It's an indulgence of not-really curiosity. It doesn't seem like it's a proper substitute for an urgent desire to know things, which would be a symptom of really being alive, or at least desperate.
Friends that have these seem to like them, but they seem like a lot of work to me.
