One point that stuck with me during our discussion was that about the expectation of quiet leisure. I never thought about what people during this time did for leisure, but it would make sense that they would want something more calm. With the hustle and bustle of the industrial society I would think that they would want to relax at home, or read a book as we discussed. However, this was not the case. We learned that they like roller coasters instead. We questioned whether this is because modern people have a taste for shock. I’d like to say that I think this is true in our society because for our leisure, we have amusement parks, traveling, skydiving, etc. things that wouldn’t be considered calm or quiet in the least.In class we attributed this to having two different selves; one created by industrial society. Another point that I thought was interesting was the opinion that the internet is a crutch that makes us weaker. This resonated with me because my mother, as an African immigrant, would always say that I have it easy compared to her. I do not necessarily believe this is true because, while we do have more access to technology and resources, more information is, in turn, expected of our generation. As was mentioned in class, our generations time has been commodified; we have to be more efficient with all of the information that is expected of us.
