Technology has made tasks like travel booking and email exponentially faster, yet people feel busier than ever. The speaker explores why efficiency gains haven't translated into more free time and what might actually help.
If you think about our efficiency as a generation to get things done, how much can we do with how much effort? It was up 90%, 90% faster. Almost everything. There is so much friction that we've removed from our lives. Travel. How hard was it to book, travel or change travel? Banking, groceries, ordering food, meeting with colleagues around the globe. 25 years ago, email didn't exist pre Covid zoom. And all of this wasn't that much. Of course, we did video conference and it was so much time to organize. And then now with AI right. What used to take an hour now takes five minutes. And it's probably even better. So much efficiency. I mean, we should be swimming in free time, we should be taking more vacations, we should be more present. But that's not our reality. We are actually busier than our parents, who were busier than their parents. And so I think we have to actually address this and we have to make it practical and understand what's behind this, what is getting in our way and how do we actually get out of it.
