Scarcity of weekend
As the world advance, we manage to overcome many factors that once before considered as our limitations. Steadily, geographical scope has become less restricted with the amelioration of transportation and the development of internet. In term of capital, the establishment of stock markets have allowed endowment to transfer from investors to entrepreneurs, although the recent financial crisis has raised our eyes on the efficacy of capitalists’ system.
No doubt, such improvements help us to extenuate time constraint. Our pile of time slacks has been build up from the reduction amount of time for traveling or creating our wealth. It also makes sense to think it logically. Yet, overtime the burden of allocating our time to finish our tasks have turned our to be more demanding.
The fact of less sleeping or less playing should intrigue our mind. Technology doesn’t relieve us from loads as we expected. Instead it ties us up on further commitment. No wonder oftentimes we retreat to seclude ourselves from worldly responsibilities. A fairly distributed of lifestyle before, now it skews to concentrate on our very moment (mathematically, from Uniform distribution to Pareto distribution). We work hard to accumulate our time that enough for us to take days off. That is the price we pay to live in this modern world.
