Does anybody remember the SNL skit about converting to metric time, 100 hour days, 100 days in a month, 10 months a year. The solution was government subsidized speed during waking hours and Quaaludes to sleep. Apparently this may not be to far off.

I remember my dad telling me that in 60's they were saying that because we were becoming so much more efficient that we would have more free time. People would work 20 hours a week rather than 40. Too bad the exact opposite happened.
