I’m astonished how so many people in so many fields of activity and from different backgrounds are wasting so much time. Think of all the kids who are wasting too much time on video games instead of learning practical and useful skills. Think of all the adults who are wasting too much time watching television or surfing aimlessly on the Web. Think of all the people of all ages wasting time on the phone or chatting on the net. What a waste of resources. Of course, we need to relax once in a while and it is good sometimes to do some mindless activities. But how much is too much?
What do you think ?

Salut Steph- well I’m following the blog now. It is a good use of my time!
I also share this fascination with time wasting or efficiency. People often forget that old adage : time is money. If you have lots of money you may have less time and conversely if you have no money, you have time… to invest in prospering. Converting time ( productivity) into wealth is the foundation of our society. But it’s more than a monetary equation. Investing your diminishing, non renewable resource, time, should be a preoccupation for everyone. Mindless activities are good but what is the tipping point. When it is too much and detrimental not to the person but to a larger extent society ?…

Appalled is a strong word to use for what you are trying to say I think, maybe use something more like…surprised, astonished?
Just a thought..

re:Think of all the people of all ages wasting time on the phone or chatting on the net. What a waste of resources…Moi je crois que pour certaines de ces personnes c’est une façon de se relaxer et pour d’autres d’apprendre. Chaque personne n’a pas la même vision de bien partager son temps j’en conviens, ils n’ont pas tous le même baguage de scolarité non plus et les ressources financières. Ils font avec ce qu’ils ont appris.
