In olden days, people used to live and work according to the movements of the sun. When the sun rose, people would work, and when the sun set, it was too dark to work so people would sleep. However, after the invention of the light bulb, people began to work without rest and nowadays, people will even work 24/7 without stopping due to the demands of their workplace or just to receive a special bonus. Oftentimes, they don't even get enough rest before they go right back to working somewhere dangerous. In addition to risks of injury, accidents and errors, people don't tend to perform as efficiently, no matter what their age or levels of skill are, and they tend to "burn out" even when they have greater stamina compared to everyone else.

Thus, the question is...

Do you think today's society is putting too much of a premium on "want it now!" and "get it done now!" at the expense of everyone's health? If so, is there something that we, as the current generation of living beings, can do to remedy all of the issues that have extended into just about every aspect of society, including politics, employment and education?

Personally, I don't think it's a coincidence that we have been moving towards an era of automation in an effort to cut costs and reduce stress on humans, but even robots require maintenance from humans and systems need to be checked regularly by humans to make sure they're not being compromised. Thus, do you think that this era of automation we are moving towards is actually as beneficial for humans as many people have been making it out to be? In other words, are we actually getting more work done in less time, or are we really just making more work for ourselves?

No matter how much better technology gets, your schedule will most likely always be full. Why?

Because technology doesn't mean you get more leisure time. I just. . . get's something done for you so that you can do something else. And then you find a way to put that time to use, either for pleasure, or productivity. Hence it get's used up.

Honestly, I think it sucks how dependent people are becoming on technology for information. Google it. . . facts come from whatever expert of whatever field and school. People experience less stuff for themselves and prefer to look things up. Even for the most basic advice. I think this makes humans less efficient. But in the end, what we SHOULD be doing is coming up to this useful technology and then saying. "Aha! See how this helps me here? Now I can do something else and develop my skills in ANOTHER place!" The losers are not those who use technology, and then take advantage of it's benefits to do better somewhere else. The losers are those who use technology to do fulfill the basic minimums of existing. . .

The problem is laziness at the core. Better technology may enable it. . . but only if parents and society does so first!

Yuna1000 : technology in my opinion has a good and bad side to it,the good side is that it can be very helpful as long as it is not used in a manner where we stop thinking and just allow computers and machines to do all the work a bad thing about it is that it,s only good as long as it  works otherwise if the computers,robots and machines malfunction it can cause more problems than good yes it is good that these days we are able to google up anything that we want to find out about and be able to use things such as spellcheck but it,s still better when we can do things on our own without the help of machines
