Mario - Procrastination

PROCRASTINATING MUCH?

In the Technology Age, procrastination is king.

Shouldn't be the other way around?

Instant messages, file exchanges, worldwide connection, faster communications, faster decision making, faster everything! This is the premise of the Technology Age, the Age of Information, where we have evolved hundreds of years only in the last 25 years.

But in the middle of all this revolution, people procrastinate now like never before.

For every step advancing in this fast-paced world, there is a retreat to a lazier world, where we can leave things for later since technology makes everything faster. Why do the work now if we can do it more quickly later; after all, we have a lot to do on the Internet !

 The Social Network: A wolf in sheep's clothing?

One of the most revolutionary creations of the Internet Era is the Social Networks, a congregation of people sharing common interests, exchanging ideas and literally experiencing globalization.

But then something gets in the middle of this beautiful ideal: 

the Human Nature. Some personality traits compel people to dive into the Internet to relieve their impulses. The vain will waste time uploading pictures of himself, the curious will waste time finding out about somebody else's life, the angry will state political statements, the addict will spend money on online games, and so on and so forth.

That's why we have to revise the simplistic notion that technology will solve everything by itself. We also have to evolve as humans, we have to be better than we are today.
