what happend to time?

It seems as though the concept of time has changed, and what used to be a balance between work and play has turned into a balance of work and work. When i think back to when i was younger it seems as though everyone had more time for relaxing and visiting with friends. I can remember taking at least two weeks out of the summer and going camping with my family every year for the summer. Now were lucky if we can get a weekend together, let alone a vacation. I dont think this only applies to myself. I feel the general pace of the world has just changed over the past decade. We work longer hours, we have more requirements to meet for school, and spend less time doing the things we want to do. I wish I could go back to the days where I could sit down for two hours and watch an entire movie, uninterrupted, and not feel guilty about the piles of homework on my desk. I wish I could go back to the days where I could sit in my room and do nothing but listen to an entire album of my favorite band and not feel giulty about the overflowing basket of dirty laundry. Maybe this is just something i am realizing because i'm getting older, but i feel as though time is changing for everyone these days.
