Too Little, Too Much (Reflection 2)

The toothpaste you are using yields very little foam and you feel it doesn't really clean your teeth. You try another brand, but it yields too much foam. This doesn't feel good either. Can you find the perfect toothpaste? You probably would, if you had the patience to look for it. Out of the metaphor. In the past it was not too easy to communicate or get information. You had to wait for letters to arrive from far away or for the newspaper to be issued. You needed books to consult. Nowadays you can communicate in a fraction of a second with any friend or get any information from the Internet. The past way was like the toothpaste with too little foam. Isn't the present way a bit like the toothpaste with too much foam? Waiting for a letter was not so good, but neither is having your brain constantly bombarded by text messages, often exchanged for no real need? No judging, here. Just a suggestion to reflect.
