In 1960, expert testimony concerning time management was presented to a Senate subcommittee. The experts said that because of advances in technology, within twenty years or so, people would be radically cutting back on how many hours a week they worked, or how many weeks a year they worked, or else they would have to start retiring sooner. The great challenge, according to the experts of the sixties, was what people in our decade would do with all their free time. I'm sure all of you are struggling right now with all the free time you have, right?

Of course this expert never took a moment, before he uttered this foolishness, to ask himself, "Is it in our nature to rest?" No, of course not. We humans have to have a challenge. Given our freedom we will always push boundaries.
