Task 2
Nowadays more and more people want to get things done instantly (services, information, tasks). Why is this? Do you think this is a positive or negative development? There is an irresistible urge for modern-day people to accomplish things quickly. While there seems to be one major culprit behind this trend, I personally believe that it is a change for the worse. The principal cause of the need to do things fast is a change in people's perception of time. Technology has speeded up everything, and people came to realize that they need to keep pace with it if they want to remain competitive. For instance, if workers in a tech company specializing in game development do not accomplish their tasks in a timely fashion or even if they do but fail to meet the deadline, then it means financial loss worthy of hundreds of thousands of dollars for their company. The same holds true for media staff, sportspeople and other walks of life. If they fail to do their tasks during a regular workday, or even more sometimes, then they are unable to develop a competitive edge over their counterparts. While finishing things in no time seems to stand individuals in good stead by allowing them to win time to do more, I would argue that it is a negative development anyway. First of all, the quality of work suffers. I cannot imagine doctors carrying out their operations in a quick manner or teachers delivering the maximum number of classes possible for the sake of finishing their jobs faster. Even more seriously, people are putting themselves at risk of developing health issues, ranging from anxiety to stress to heart disease. This is because constant time pressure involves dealing with more problems, meetings, annoying people and other work and life-related issues, which tend to bring about the afflictions stated above. The major reason that can explain the motive why people have the desire to do things at a fast pace is a shift in the perception of time, and in my view it is an unfavorable development due to the poor quality of work and health problems it can cause.
