Before reading this Chapter, the first thing that came into my mind about the title “Finding Time in a Digital Age” immediately reminds me of this book criticizing how much extra time we are actually investigating into technology. As we drawn into the digital age, we are creating a lot more extra work for ourselves. After reading this Chapter, it indeed open up a new perspective of how time were being utilize and wasted within the digital age. Not saying that we are wasting time, but that technology somehow helps us to gain more time. One of the examples that was talk about is how some app helps and reminds us of the events and things we need to do in a day, like a time action plan reminder. These technologies improve our time management but also allow us to be more proactive with time using. The alternative consumption of time is not just in the sense of more time, but more meaningful. As new technologies emerge with time, I wonder if we will be able to find a balance, or whether we will be relying on technology too much that we will never be able to notice.
