Synopsis
Is life easier than it was a generation ago? Do all the labor-saving devices really save time? Is there more leisure time, or has technology simply developed more things to occupy time? Brave New World: Wired for Speed: Technology and the Accelerating Pace of Life examines how the pace of life has sped up, and whether this is a good thing. Ted Koppel and Robert Krulwich talk with a professor, an editor, and a Silicon Valley public relations executive, who share their opinions about the gadgets and high-tech toys of contemporary life. ~ Alice Day, All Movie Guide
