A few hundred years ago, nobody expected to go anywhere faster than a horse could take them there, why must we go faster now?
Life changes. If people don't like that, there are still some very nice remote forests they can go live in.
- tjr 12y agoA good point! After my comment above, I started thinking, well, a hundred years ago we expected response times in days or weeks via mail, rather than within hours via telephone or email. With the introduction of the telephone, there may well have been some people who felt communicating that quickly was needlessly rushed. I guess I still retain the wondering, though; with possible response times reduced to effectively instantaneous, are we losing anything? Is it good that anything we are doing can always be interrupted by something else?
