Our Culture is Changing Before Our Eyes

Our communication technology has been changing so fast everyday. We are used to a fast pace service through our various communication devices (internet, email, texting, twitter and facebook) to get answers back within several moments. And the efficiency of our communication is getting much more accurate. As if we need to rely and service and answers NOW! This fast pace communication has spoiled us.

Also, our culture is currently experiencing a deflating economy. Some people compare it to the 80s, some people compare it to the Great Depression of the 30s. Neither of these times had the incredibly fast communication technology we have today.
We were spoiled by the high rising economy. It was a time of feast, not it is a time of famine. Get used to it. Now prices are lower and people are staying home a lot more. In my opinion, this is the way it should be because this is how the rest of the world lives. Did we really believe ourselves when owning and pouring all of your money into other rental homes was really going to make you a lot of money? Our culture got ahead of itself, and now we are learning how to survive in a slower and more realistic time.

I went to Costco the other day, and I got annoyed by everyone there. Everyone was on their phones going down each aisle asking who ever they were talking to if they needed more stuff for dirt cheap. We lived in a time where we were used to buying what ever we want. Professional consumers, if you will call it.

It is different now, communication is faster than ever, and the economy is slower than ever. We have to learn to slow down, and it is ok to live a slower lifestyle. Hey, maybe you can call (or twitter) an old friend and hang out with some good old fashion regular coffee.
