Slow down...

I ran across this video and this great website that posts talks from different people across a broad spectrum of disciplines. The website is http://www.ted.com/. Here is one video from one video in regards to the fast paced world we live in and how we should slow down once in awhile.

About this Talk
Speed, notes journalist and author Carl
Honore
, has become a combining form: speed dialing, speed reading, speed
walking, even speed dating. Modern life is stuck on fast-forward to such an
extent, he notes, quoting Postcards from the Edge, that "even instant
gratification takes too long." But there's a backlash brewing, he says, as
everyday people start putting the brakes on. He concludes with the results of
his own attempt to get in touch with his "inner tortoise."
