Time is Money



As most part of the students know,I as a teacher comment it all the time, American people in general tend to save time in all kinds of aspect, for example, instead of using structures such as, 'I am' they use 'I'm' all the time and when you start listening to their language in movies, songs and so on you start noticing that they save time when speaking all the time. However, this behavior show off not only in when speaking, but also with technology. They have developed many technologies along the centuries like cellphones, pocket video games and Personal Computers and so on.

From what I have said until now you may think this idea of 'time is money' is good, but it is not at all. American people may do anything in order to save money and money, I'm going to use our social relations as an example: In order to say something to a friend, to invite someone to go out people don't call their friends anymore they just send an email or even a tweet*, these simple actions make us have less and less social relations which is really bad.
