Do computers slow us down?

Today I have added an item to my shopping list on my phone while logging into a website. Do all these tech only slow us down? We would be way more productive if we'd speed up the applications and devices. There's an enormous time of the day while we are waiting for update or loading. As a software dev, I find this very contra-productive, because all the ideas I have just go to waste. Of course...

Li ion battery producers. Once an alternative is found, they gonna go down, both Chinese and Korean. If I were you, I would rather invest in companies that support small and medium farming, grow your own, agriculture and the such. There's no other way to reduce overproduction and waste than make people buy their food locally.

I don't know why the US doesn't consume more beans, but I understand the UK doesn't. They only know the canned bean that is horrible. A friend once asked me why would you cook beans. I can't explain, you have to try.

I completely disagree with whatever Carnegie says. He takes the human element out of the business and puts profit above all. He sold life insurances on airplanes, just by betting on people's fear of death.
To sleep in a sea of stars, definitely recommending it. Sci-fi.

I hate Dale Carnegie, he's a rat. Sold life insurance to worried people on airplanes.

I was thinking if I get naked and go out to the street, singing loudly maybe they take me to an asylum and give me proper mental treatment for free, then I just thought probably they just take me home to my husband and ask him to look after me. In one word, the choice is not yours. Just have to keep on doing stuff. There's no exit, unless you don't believe anymore it can ever get better.
I feel a market gap for a software. :D
I have read the whole Linux book, I knew I wouldn't understand half of it but just reading it is enough, when it comes to need to use some of the cli I know what is possible to do, and so I know what to google for. Once you read a book you won't forget what's in it, it'll come back when you need it.
I am building a site called talentexploit.com since many years now, (I'm working full time, this is my side project) that collects skills, wishes, requirements and all sorts of stuff from people and based on that recommends career paths along with suggesting education ideas to achieve that goal. This is because 9 of 10 people I meet don't do for living what their hobby is, or what they like to do in their free time. They feel shit and bored at workplace. This would be for them to advise how to change. But will never go live, because it's huge for a junior dev like me.
