In this weekly reading, the author Judy Wajcman talks more about how we manage our time. She explains why we interpret our experiences with digital technology as inexorably accelerating everyday life. Being in a rush lifestyle drives our daily life. Is that good or not? Is a faster life really help to build a modern societies? Actually, it is not about speed, being better and using the tools to this end rather than being used by the tools.
I have read a quite similar book online years ago. 《Dark Time》The author weipeng Liu used to be a blogger, he shared his point of view on his blog, compare with Judy Wajcman, he is draw more attention to advice young people how to be good use of their time. There is a part in the book really remarkable, to translated here,"Our life is like an hourglass, everyone’s hourglass filled with the amount of the sand, and everyone live almost long.The difference is that some people’s hourglass necks are small, some coarser hourglass necks are big.The big neck is to capture every grain of sand of time, although the amount of sand, but relatively have a longer life."
