Labor Day then, Labor Day now

I found out that the original Labor Day holiday was formed in celebration of the new modern, lifestyle which included 8 hours of work, 8 hours of recreation and 8 hours of sleep. That was in 1882, now one hundred and twenty five years later, we have 8 hours of sleep, 8 hours of work and 8 hours of fiddling with our home phones, cell phones, e-mails, instant messaging, faxes, blackberrys, text messaging, the mobile web, googling and blogging. It's great to be the recipient of all that wonderful progress, enjoy this holiday weekend and please leave those buttons alone and relax.
