Has society (in general) become more rushed or lazy? I received an email from my niece. It was all in text message form....and she was typing from her frickin computer!!!

I'm not the type that worries too much about spelling and grammar, but this texting style of typing is crazy. I feel like I need a decoder ring for it.

U, Y, R, 4 and 2 are letters/numbers not words. I can handle omg, lol, lmao, etc. Those are acronyms at least.

We have fast food, drive through banking, etc etc...being on a site for only a few days and worried about not getting emails....

Are we in a HUGE hurry or lazy or what?

SLOW DOWN PEOPLE!!!!

ok....my rant is done....for now pitchfork

yeah i would say both....the times seem to cater to a fast society....rush rush ...gotta do this and do that....have to be here or there.

cell phones, internet, computer dominated jobs where machines do the brunt of the work because they dont tire and work faster.

my main pouint would have to be fast food...for people who are on the go...yep

thats my lil rant lol if it is one lol

i would say that we are definately lazy. just think of all of the things that have been invinted just so you can accomplish a task with as little work or effort involved as possible,im not saying that its a bad thing just that the effort that is put forth into making our ******** lives easier so we can spend more time on facebook or submiting videos to youtube to get our 15 min of fame could be better spent solving more important problems.

and consider the fact that if you have the means you can hire someone who has less than you,and in many cases illegaly,at a insulting wage to do things that you wouldnt be caught doing. and in many cases these people are happy to do it because its work,because its a means of support when really its just our economic and political system at work doing what it does best keeping classes where they are the poor stay poor while the rich get richer. i agree with maynard its time for mom to flush it all away

LOL! Do you feel the 21st Century breathing over your shoulder?

I heard it said that 'The introduction of the "Information Age" has caused many in society to lose the ability to think deeply'. Personally, I find myself in agreement with the authors statement.

I wonder how long it will be before somebody figures out that they could write and sell a book with just txt. print alone in it?

Hang in there,
