==================================================================

All of recent development, such as instant food, instantaneous communication and faster transportation, are designed to save time. The author claims that instead of making more leisure time, these developments have contributed to make individuals feel more rushed and more frantic. However, in my opinion, the main goal of latest developments, to some extent, is not saving our time for leisure time, but to boost our work efficiency and then focus on more significant affairs. However the abuse of technology may cause such kind of problems.

Admittedly, recent advancements in our daily life can help us spend little time on them eating, communication and transportation than we used to. Before the instant foods are spread widely, individuals should spend half or one hour to prepare the breakfast before their works; before the invention of mobiles and e-mails, persons should write letters or use telegraph, which either costs more much time to arrive on other's hand, nor limits in a certain place, to negotiate some crucial affairs; before underground subway is applied in our daily transportation, people crushed like sandwich in rush hours since the limit number of buses can't satisfy the demand of office workers.Therefore, at the moment more and more recent developments are invented and applied, people have more convenient alternatives to choose and save more time than before.

Their time for lunch, for sleeping or for accompanying with their families is probably disturbed by mobiles for urgent events of their business. None of them could expect to use contemporary technology to increase their holidays. From this instance, we can clearly notice that the function of some recent technology is based on providing more efficient way for work, instead of sparing our free time.

Moreover, abuse and rely on new technology excessively are perhaps the chief reasons why we feel more rushed and more frantic than ever before. We used to plan our time to go shopping, watching movie or staying at home with our family members when off duty. However, with the popularization of Internet and E-mail, we can keep in touch with the immediate information about our work even though it is time for rest. Then individuals are forced to use free time to tackle about certain affair, which may need extra efforts and energy. The boundary between working time and resting time becomes vague and individuals may feel they are always at work and couldn't have enough private time for relax. The feeling of rushed and frantic arises from such kind of situations, which can’t only be attributed to latest advancements of technology. The desires for more material possessions never stop with efficiency boosting and individuals may use every technology approach to satisfy their needs. Hence, it is our human beings that abuse and overuse them to make our life choas.
