I guess things aren't going to improve, even though I want them to. Living in/close to a city is the only option left for humans. Our minds are suffused with materialism. We are a generation brought up to prefer things that are inherently fast. We would not be able to settle into the countryside for our frame of reference has been speeding at a wild pace since we were born and we have reached a speed at which we cant stop.

I'm a bit more optimistic. I moved out to the country a year ago, for cheaper rents and the necessary solitude to get some work done. I've got broadband delivered wirelessly so I can still stay online all day if I choose. But it's nice to get outside for a run or have a laugh at the cows. I think people can adjust easily enough.
