WHY PHILOSOPHY?

I am in a place where people think that philosophy can't be used in many ways. Friends of mine told me that they believe that philosophy is good for people that have nothing to do in the day or that have no occupations or jobs. First I thought like them because I also believed that nthing could be done with philosophy. But then I read the introduction to philosophy of Fernando Savater and I changed my opinion.
I go by the world living all my days thinking tat everything has been the same and will be the same and I say things that now I ask myself what they mean. Because you do things and say things but don't complain about the meaning or anything because we are satisfied with our knowledge about the thing.
All that knowledge we have came from a source and I reconsidered and now I think philosophy is good because it makes us think, go deeper into the real meanings of everything and no one is going to philosophize but yourself, it is not like a lesson you learn from a teacher but that you discover yourself.
I think many of the things we see now, like a television or ipod or iphone or internet, all of them are the result of people who asked themselves how things worked and found or create a new use or something that could use what they discovered. I now think you can understand more the world if you open your mind to philosophy.
