Life used to go slowly or, you could say, at a normal pace. Then it started to go a little faster. And a little faster. Then it started to go really fast. Now it seems it is running. Where to? In older times people would take the time to sit with a friend over a cup of tea, chatting amiably, just to enjoy some leisure time together. With no distractions, just a friendly conversation. Now the omnipresent smartphone keeps you busy, non stop. Back then people had to go through books to get information. If you looked up a word in the encyclopedia, you were lured into a world of wider knowledge. You had the time to keep looking at pictures and make use of your imagination... Now a mere click lets you know what you need in an instant - or communicate with someone - with no "waste" of time, because you have to check another app, right now. It's a fast world that, regardless of the undeniable progress, has also taken away something that used to be an important part of human life.
