Not So Fast. Slow down Communication

"We must reassert principles that have been lost in the blur. It is time to launch a manifesto for a slow communication movement, a push back against the machines and the forces that encourage us to remain connected to them."

Are we moving too fast, communicating too quickly, missing the passion and details of life? The Wall Street Journal featured a story by John Freeman arguing we need to take advantage of speed, but not let it run our lives. In short, we need to slow down, take the time to smell the roses and to actually live life to its fullest.
