To the statement, "Time very much impacts the daily life of our productivity," I can testify to myself. In my daily do-abouts I am constantly checking the time (which I no longer do on my watch, which is left at home, but on my cell phone - technological advances/influences) to see how much time I can afford to continue my activities until I'm off to the next thing on my itinerary.I said "Yes" to Mr. Woo!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14001185253722331350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38644188.post-21676568966290402602007-02-06T23:13:00.000-08:002007-02-06T23:13:00.000-08:00I liked what you were saying, but I didn't quite g...I liked what you were saying, but I didn't quite get the whole picture. Did you mean that, because people are so obsessed with productivity in the workplace now and consequently neglect their families, they carry this habit with them through their evolution into Eloi? If so, then why do the Eloi have no family structure even though they no longer have to work?<br /><br />Or, on the other hand, do you mean that people are obsessed with work so that they can support their families, and that's why the Eloi, who don't work, have no interest in having families?<br /><br />I'm not trying to pick a fight, I just want to understand what you're saying :)<br /><br />btw, I wonder who raises the children? Or do the children just spring forth, fully-formed, with all adult mental capacities? (Just being nitpicky now.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01773431570017088876noreply@blogger.com
