I think that many advertisements for cell phones attempt to suggest that anyone who is not filling every waking second of every day with activity is not experiencing the best that life has to offer. Those same ads also seem to reinforce to those who are already stretched to the limit that they can use the advertised cell phone to enable them to cram even more work or other activity into whatever precious and wasted few seconds that are not booked up already. No time for relaxation in this world! Gotta go, go, go, go, go.
A few tidbits form a recent Sprint advertising flyer I got in the mail: "Running your life requires some running around. From business meetings to family meetings to meeting somewhere in the middle..." No time for kicking back in that one. "Never a dull moment." No rest here. "Work, play and all the spaces in between demand service..." Can't heave a sigh of relief and sneak a nap in the hammock anymore. "The days of waiting for technology to catch up with your life are long gone." No need to slow down and smell the roses now.
