When I think of people buzzing around because their time is "too short", I wonder how people who had only a horse/buggy for transportation, felt about "time" 100 years ago?

Go read the Foxfire books and have some insight; In the second one an old man commented something quite similar to this: "People back then would talk with you all day if you stopped them while they had a horse and buggy, But now people with cars won't so much as talk for a minute! They're rushing, But where are they rushing to?"
