D. 梭羅 Article1Old Father Time Bees a Terror Once upon a time, technology, we thought, would make our lives easier. Machines were expected to do our work for us, leaving us with everincreasing quantities of time to waste away on idleness and pleasure. But instead of liberating us, technology has enslaved us. Innovations are occurring at a bewildering rate: as many now arrive in a year as once arrived in a millennium. And as each invention arrives, it eats further into our time.Article2_S The motorcar, for example, promised unimaginable levels of personal mobility. But now, traffic in cities moves more slowly than it did in the days of the horsedrawn carriage, and we waste our lives stuck in traffic jams. The aircraft promised new horizons, too. The trouble is, it delivered them. Its very existence created a demand for timeconsuming journeys that we would never previously have dreamed of undertaking the transatlantic shopping expedition, for example, or the trip to a convention on the other side of the world.Article3 In most cases, technology has not saved time, but enabled us to do more things.

It has also provided us with the opportunity to spend hours fixing software glitches on our personal puters or filling our heads with useless information from the Inter.Article4 Technology apart, the Inter points the way to a second reason why we feel so timepressed: the information explosion. A couple of centuries ago, nearly all the world’s accumulated learning could be contained in the heads of a few philosophers. Today, those heads could not hope to acmodate more than a tiny fraction of the information generated in a single day. Article5_S News, facts and opinions pour in from every corner of the world. The television set offers 150 channels. There are millions of Inter sites. Magazines, books and CDROMs proliferate. “In the whole world of
