Monday Must-Reads Are you part of the new driveby culture

Monday Must-Reads Are you part of the new driveby culture The Psychology of Making Huge Career Jumps.   Its all about psychology folks.   Read this great example.   Also, if you arent already subscribing to Ramit Sethis blog, I highly recommend you do.   Its awesome for young professionals trying to get their financial life together. Its tax time, so I had to post this article on 7 Simple Mistakes that can lead to an audit. Driveby culture and the endless search for wow. I often think about how our dependence on technology is changing society.   For example, I have a sister who is almost 10 years younger than me.   Her teenage years are completely different than mine because of technology.   The more we rely on technology, the more we want answers right now.   The more we search for instant gratification, the more  we get a false sense of satisfaction.   Technology makes it easier to walk away from important things because you figure you can quickly replace it.   Technology makes people afraid of the phone and  impatient.   We want it all right now.   We can Google the answer to anything, so we dont bother learning.   How do you think our dependence on technology is changing society? 8 Places You Wont find Inner Happiness   To piggyback on the previous article, I think all this technology sometimes makes us more lonely than we would be with out it.   Why?   Because we are so used to being inundated with instant messages, tweets, new emails, and Facebook updates.   If we dont get any, it feels weird.   If we arent constantly being entertained, we are bored.   We dont know how to just  be with ourselves  anymore (I cant even get through an elevator ride without my iPhone).   This article lists 8 places  most of us have  tried finding happiness, but havent.   Do you think that technology has changed the way people get happy?   Do you think technology has changed our need for instant happiness highs?
