Question

We are in a rush. We are making haste. A compression of time characterizes our lives. As timeuse researchers look around they see a rushing and scurrying everywhere. Instant services rule pollsters use electronic devices during political speeches to measure opinions before they havebeen fully formed; fast food restaurants add express lanes. Even reading to children is underpressure. The volume One Minute Bedtime Stories” consists of traditional stories that can beread by a busy parent in only one minute. Time is a gentle deity said Sophocles. Perhaps it was for him. These days it cracks the whip.We humans have chosen speed and we thrive on it - more than we generally admit. Our abilityto work fast and play fast gives us power. It thrills us. And if haste is the accelerator multi-tasking is the overdrive. A sense of well-being comes with this saturation of parallel pathways inthe brain. We choose mania over boredom every time. Humans have never opted for slower points out the historian Stephen Kern. We catch the fever -and cramming our life feels good.There are definite ways to save time but what does this concept really mean? Does time savingmean getting more done? If so does talking on a cellular phone at the beach save time or wasteit? Does it make sense to say that driving saves ten minutes from your travel budget whileremoving ten minutes from your reading budget?These questions have no answer. They depend on a concept that is ill formed; the very idea oftime saving. Some of us say we want to save time when we really want to do more and faster. Itmight be simpler to recognize that there is time and we make choices about how to spend it howto spare it how to use it and how to fill it.Time is not a thing we have lost.
