30、re,had less competing for the few,but more peacefulness for themany.Western man had relearned what the rest of the world had never forgotten thatthere was nothing wrong with relaxing（休 闲）as long as it did not fall into ordinarylaziness.Education was now much more thorough and much more popular.Few p

31、eople leftcollege before twenty and that was merely the first stage,since they usually returnedagain at twenty-five for at least three more years,after travel and experience had broadenedtheir minds.Even then,they would probably take review courses at times for the rest of theirlives in the subjects

33、d repeated,to a large degree,the great American achievement of putting a nationon wheels.It had given wings to the world.There were plenty of specialists,but few creative workers broadening the areas ofhuman knowledge.Curiosity remained,and the free time to enjoy it,but the heart had beentaken out o

39、stweekends and evenings.My working hours arent automatically much shorter than they oncewere,but I spend fewer of them at the office.This lets me share more time with my youngdaughter than I might have if shed been born before electronic(电 子 的)mail became sucha practical tool.The Internet also makes
