Judy Wajcman, 2015, ‘Finding Time in a Digital Age’ in Pressed for Time: The Acceleration of Life in Digital Capitalism, ch.7.

 “Finding time in a digital age”-a quit interesting topic. Depending on this topic, Judy Wajcman tries to introduce the idea about how to efficiently mange our work time, and how to be flexible. Firstly, Judy shows the idea of one economist John Maynard Keynes. John believed that people don’t have work too many hours to satisfy their needs, people is able to enjoy their leisure time. He also imagined the technology developments eventually would enable the productivity be higher, as a result, people can efficiently work with the digital machine. However, the high technology flailed to liberate us. The new technology acceleration forces us to be more rushed. Undoubtedly, we live in an even faster pace of life. We have to work with abundant resource. Learning the different types of technologies also ask us to pay more attention and more time.

There is no doubt that digital development benefits to society, also we both know the technology will keep developing in future. So it is important to know how to properly leverage the digital things to improve efficiency. Personally, I think a clear, reasonable and regular plan might be helpful.
