Century of speed ends with a call to slow down
A wide-ranging portrait contrasts New Jersey highway patrol life with a century of accelerating change. The piece tracks faster transport, collapsing times, and the cultural push to do more, as observers urge a pause amid a world of instant delivery, 24-hour news, and diminishing patience. It cites speed milestones, tech growth, and quotes from experts, designers, and workers about the pace of modern life and whether slowing down is possible.
