"Convenience just speeds you up." I guess I too have gotten conned into thinking that the convenience machines give us will free up a lot of my time, and then I can use that time to slow down or something. Tools, I consider, are never neutral. Whether it;s a hammer or a computer, a tool affects the way you think and behave, and sometimes even your values. Maybe convenience is just a faster conveyer belt and it hoodwinks me into thinking I can cram a lot more into my already crammed days.
