This book examines the extraordinary changes that technology brings
and how these affect all of us and our families-at home, at school,
and at our work places-with profound consequences for society.
Twenty-first-century technology opens up fabulous opportunities,
but also changes how we relate to each other and warps our sense of
time, reality, duty, and privacy. Technologies and time-saving
devices make everything happen faster, with the result that we feel
busier than ever before. "Free time" seems in danger of extinction.
So Much, So Fast, So Little Time: Coming to Terms with Rapid Change
and Its Consequences provides fascinating insights about how our
changing world is changing our families and our personal
relationships; how we travel, behave as consumers, and communicate;
and how we entertain ourselves and deal with our anxieties. Written
in a popular, accessible style, this book describes seven areas of
significant societal change, providing concrete examples and
engaging stories to illustrate how drastically our right-now
mindset has shifted our perception and experience of the world. In
the last chapter, the author makes some practical suggestions on
how to take thoughtful action to respond to the onslaught of
inevitable change.
