Default More time - why don't we seem to have it?

With all the labor saving devices that have been created (and are common in many households) - such as automatic clothes washer, clothes dryer, automatic dish washer, microwave ovens, coffee makers, computers, etc etc etc

It seems like we had more time for attending church, visiting, and playing (pick-up type) games "way back when" than we do now.

There was even time to do "chores" like ironing, baking, and "real" cooking.

I am trying to figure out why/how this has happened. We don't seem to have that much meaningful face-to-face time with people any more.

Even voice conversations have been replaced by texting.

I think we are losing the ability to interact with people because of all the distractions that we have allowed ourselves.

Has "stuff" and "organized activities" become overly important in our lives?

Your thoughts?
