I hate driving. Maybe I'm getting old, but it seems like there are so many people that are in too much of a hurry to get where they are going. There is so much impatience and aggression. It's a bit like using twitter, actually.

This is a huge stretch, but i wonder if having accurate Maps and estimated arrival times has caused people to start timing things too tightly and encourages rushing to "make back time." Long shot ,i know, but something i think about

I think about that a lot, glad to see someone else has noticed it too. I don’t think it’s the main or only issue, but I definitely feel more pressure to shave time off when I can see an ETA going up or down. If it’s a route I know well and I don’t have it on, then I don’t care about a minute here or there.

My personal belief is that Twitter (and social media in general) is fueling aggression like this in society. Would love to see what happens if we all start to take a step away from social as they start to collapse...
