Abstract

“Slow” and “lazy” are completely different. “Slow” does not necessarily mean that one is not doing one’s work. Take your time to do one thing efficiently and well. Work can be done in a much more creative way and human relationships can be improved, raising the overall quality of time. In the 250 years following the Industrial Revolution, everything has accelerated. Of course it brought a lot of advantages; however, it becomes obvious now that it brought many more disadvantages. Therefore, the “slow” movement within the global village is accelerating with tremendous speed.
