The Wall Street Journal: spontaneity is scarce these days
“Spontaneity, always in short supply, is scarce these days. It is nearly impossible to get reservations for dinner at coveted restaurants. Movies sell out, and vacations are planned to the 15-minute increment. A month ahead, parents can be sure their child gets into an art activity at the local museum and reserve ice cream at the nearby cafe for lunch afterward.”
