Getting things done faster is a result of a society built on immediate gratification.
Speed is important when every moment counts in saving a life. However, would you rush a carpenter building your stairs?
We rush to where we are going, but do we ever use that time to mentally relax? If we did, we would be more calm when we got there and pay more attention to the surrounding environment on the way.
Is getting work done faster really a replacement for doing work with care?
Speed can be outsourced to computers.
Lasting gratification comes slowly.
