The demands of life are getting more complicated. We talk of advancement in the way things are done, but what it really means is that the pace of everything keeps getting faster. We do things quickly so we can do more things.

It’s not really society that progresses but technology. We are now more concerned about getting things done for our jobs or careers and there are high-tech tools to do the task well. We think little of what nurtures humanity, of the simple pleasures life used to afford us.
