RE: Slow down a little today

in #writing7 years ago

That's what kind of annoys me about society, everyone seems to be in a rush. They are all in a rush to their dead end job to pay off their house, car, credit cards that everyone else has and they to have too. Hopefully in the future when there's more autonomy and technological advances help us slow down and enjoy our lives more.

Sort:  

It's true.. it's so easy to get caught up in the rat race and live for what is really meaningless in the grand scheme of things. I wonder sometimes if, contrary to the goal of technology, it actually just pushes us further and further away from the simplicity that keeps us plugged in to what is truly valuable and worth taking time for. What do you think?

It certainly seems that way when you're out in public and everyone is staring at their phones. But what I believe is that technology will grow even further where autonomous vehicles, robotics, and the blockchain will free humans from doing tedious tasks and jobs and potentially solve problems we face. What I am trying to say is hopefully technology buys us more time so we then slow down enjoy ourselves our family and enjoy and treat nature with respect again.

I can hope for that! But sometimes I wonder if more conveniences just makes us even busier because people assume we have all the time in the world? I have found that with the ease of communication, for sure.

But.. to those who know how to use it well, it could CERTAINLY be as you describe. Could be amazing..!

You make a good point because we see the evidence in real life today, we can only be hopeful. We will see!
