Everything is now produced and consumed so rapidly that no one has time to ponder or stop and think!
Finance capital adapts to the gears of a fast-paced life compatible with technology in order to generate more profit, while the laborer (mental/physical) does so to survive.
The effects of this speed are visible in the cultural sphere, just as they are in everything else. Think fast, produce fast, consume fast, design the new one fast...
With social media settling into the most comfortable space right in the middle of life, there is an effort to fit everything into 3 seconds... It is stated that the average time a person spends watching a post or a video is 3 seconds. Under intense information on smartphones, content is constantly being scrolled...
Everything is very fast, there is no time!
There is no time to deepen one's knowledge or read books!
The system does not want this anyway. It neither leaves the individual with time and financial means, nor does it encourage it, instead making things easier. A person who reads books, becomes enlightened, and questions things does not suit its interests.
In the past, it was said, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." These days, it is said, "read books to extend your life."
It is quite important for the development of the mind, perceptions, and awareness.
As a situation created by the system and the age of communication and information technologies, and at the same time as a necessity, the need for effective and critical reading is emerging.
For efficient and healthy information acquisition,
it is necessary to mention the requirement for a basic information infrastructure.
In an age of such rapid consumption, under these working conditions and economic circumstances, it can be said that carrying out a qualified, conscious, questioning, and purposeful action is a very difficult task. What we need is an order and an education system that prioritizes humanity and the future...
Yes, time is much more valuable in this age. But it is also consumed as quickly as everything else... Now, let's put aside the phone in our hands and ask ourselves: In an environment where information is so dense, do we have time to choose and stop to think?
