We were told to expect more leisure time, shorter work weeks, and a carefree existence. The George-Jetson easy street was just around the corner. Technology would save us so much work that we'd have time on our hands. Now we're in the 1990s, the decade of time deprivation. Husbands and wives both work full-time jobs.
Life is a rat race.
The streets and the skies are gridlocked by too many vehicles trying to travel to too many places. Technology has turned from slave to task master. With fax machines, cellular phones, E-Mail, phone mail, overnight delivery services, video conferencing, and computers we are never out of touch. We are never off-line. We must never slow down, sluff off, or day dream.
