Obama, in a "letter to one of his romantic partners"..

54. good ones. I especially like the topic about who the digital world

has changed us. It has caused us to feel the pressure to respond immediately. To voice mails, to faxes, texts,
to emails. In the past, you had the automatic breathing room time of waiting for the US mail (or interoffice envelope) to deliver a request for action. If you didn't want to answer the phone, you just didn't, and you never would even know what people
wanted. Less stress, for sure.

I have a personal theory also, that instant business news is a major root of many of our problems. Long ago, say you
owned IBM, you might pick up a newspaper once in a while and see it went up $.50/share, and you were happy. Now, you
see fluctuations by the second. You also see every move IBM makes and every financial report. This has caused companies to worry
about constantly improving earnings. The only way they can do that is to cut staff and cut benefits and cut salary increases and ship jobs overseas. That, to me, is why the middle class has been screwed and real income growth stagnant. Solution: ban CNBC. haha.
