| Summary / Abstract (Note) | A Provocative Discussion Of Our Relationship To Time In A World Of High Technology And Accelerated Change
Swedish physicist Bodil Jonsson has spent several decades thinking about the opportunities and problems facing human beings in these ultra-modern times. Her central question is deceptively simple: What is Time? We now lead longer lives than ever before, yet many of us feel that we don't have enough time. Technological developments - from high-speed travel to cell phones to computers and the Internet - would seem to save time, but as the speed and pace of our society increases, we all feel that we have much less of it.
Combining her knowledge of science with common sense and a woman's unique perspective, Jonsson considers how contemporary life takes its toll on our bodies and minds, asking what human and technological progress really mean. Encouraging us to look forward rather than being nostalgic |
