Does Faster = Better?

McDonaldization is the idea that our society is obsessed with time and how to make everything faster. Our society is so wrapped up in this ideal. I don’t like McDonald’s because of it’s food quality. But this is just personally. I know a lot of people who pick up McDonalds because it is convenient. It’s easy and fast food for a reasonable price. You drive up to the window, you place your order and you’re out. Food is a basic necessity in life, and well McDonalds prepares the cheap and efficiently. Efficiency equals more time you have to do other things. Time is important to us. Can’t we just slow down a little bit?
