In many cases, this is true, but in others, it is not. An example is in a Michael Crichton book I read where he mentioned that even with the invention of vacuum cleaners, it still takes about the same time to clean a house. Many new technologies are popular at first, but, in my opinion, people stop using it because they realize that it just takes too much of their time. Twitter and blogs come to mind. It used to be that everyone had a blog. Now, we have thousands of sites that are no longer updated. Same with Twitter (25% of accounts having no followers and about 40% of accounts having never sent a single Tweet I believe). It is the digital version of those towns in the plains of North Dakota that no longer have any residents. Random: I want both of those devices pictured in the blog! Maybe they should make a phone that looks like that. A usable contradiction. Yesterday's design of what would be future technology using today's technology. You mentioned technology saving time.
