In Aldous Huxley’s “Time and the Machine” the author is unenthusiastic with the use of the present generation’s use of time management as opposed to previous generations. In the past, people were more involved with nature, they enjoyed taking walks and kids ran and played outside more.

My eye’s are open to this point of view from this work and is a concept that needs to apply to hunters in today’s society.
