  • Abstract
    In this commentary on the state of affairs the author feels there is a disparity that someone should worry about. The author is not concerned about computers catching up with human intelligence. His concern is that while computers hurry their administrative chores, we humans still proceed at our own leisurely pace. There is no Moore´s Law for humans. The author muses on if a possible solution exists should our day be redefined to have 25 hours instead of 24.
