Welcome to 24/7 nano-second living. As technology has quickened the pace of our lives at work, our minds and bodies are struggling to adjust to a new, relentless rhythm. In this Soundprint, we'll meet some people who enjoy the excitement of a global economy that never sleeps-- and jobs that expect they won't either-- and others who find the new order of things unnatural and unsatisfying. As we become warriors trying to beat the nano-second clock, what have we gained, and what have we lost?
