Leisure

Compartmentalized Life: Physical traditional boundaries of time

The Age of Speed by Vince Poscente

More revenue

More and faster completed projects

Online connections enhance working &

social relationships & build social capital,

particularly in relationships that

already have a physical presence. Hampton, K. (2002)

We create, rethink, and re-tuned the filters.
