10 All humanity has not succumbed equally,of course.If you make haste,you probably make it in the technology-driven world.Sociologists have also found that increasing wealth and increasing education bring a sense of tension about time.We believe that we possess too little of it.No wonder Ivan Seidenberg,an American telecommunications executive,jokes about the mythical DayDoubler programme lus customers seem to want:"Using sophisticated time-mapping and compression techniques,DayDoubler gives you access to 48 hours each and every day.At the higher numbers DayDoubler becomes less stable,and you run the risk of a temporal crash in which everything from the beginning of time to the present could crash down around you,sucking you into a suspended time zone."
11 Our culture views time as a thing to hoard and protect.Timesaving is the subject to scores ofbooks with titles like Streamlining Your Life; Take Your TLme; More Hours in My Day.Marketers anticipate our desire to save time,and respond with fast ovens,quick playback,quick freezing and fast credit.
12 We have all these ways to"save time,"but what does that concept really mean? Does timesaving mean getting more done? If so,does talking on a cellular phone at the beach save time or waste it? If you can choose between a 30-minute train ride,during which you can read,and a 20-minute drive,during which you cannot,does the drive save ten minutes? Does it make sense to say that driving saves ten minutes from your travel budget while removing ten minutes from your reading budget?
