To me, the world has so more to explore and know about. Not just, for example, how your TV is made or how they keep the EuroStar train timetable function, but as well as how we should go about at doing things the way we do, and why we do it in such way. Every person has different opinions, and that, we can't change. So we do not, at all, 'lose ability to wonder about the world'.
For certain, nothing stops us from wondering the world when we are, say, 4. Sometimes something makes me wonder how people actually think, as I think some of them are absolutely no brainers. In many ways, people wouldn't doubt how a little kid wonder about the world. But as we grow, we start taking things as granted. This is for sure. This is because we already have our own way of imagination, and we have different ideas of how to make the world a better place.
As Little Thomas has demostrated in the book, we might not yet discover or know more about the world when we're small. But definitely, we will understand and keep wondering the world, wondering what one might do to discover more about the world.

Norbert, i really agree with you of the fact that nothing stops us from wondering no matter what age, and that if anything, we actually wonder more as we grow older. I actually didn't think about that in this way.
Norbert, like myself you disagree with the statement but you say that we wonder more as we explore the world as we grow up. However dont you think as we grow up we have less time to sit around and wonder and that althoguh we do it is more subconcious and the intensity in which we wonder is lessened rather than grown. That is just my opinion. I think every one of us are different because i dont keep time in a day to think okay i must think about what i did today...This would be natural for some people as they wonder about the world so i can see where you are coming from. With your point as understanding the world when we are grown up i beleive that is more from experience not wonder and as we grow we experience which takes over the wonder because you experience what you once would have wondered as children.
