Times you never thought
Never thought of until I read about the mathematical projection only a couple of decades ago. Very impressive was the presentation, the only reason why I still remember.
Though the process of projection is same everytime, the pattern vary.
With the advent of new telecommunications, the pattern could be scary.
If a man in a hundred years;
Sleep from 00:00 to 06:00, he slept 25 years.
Clean himself from 06:01 to 06:30 and from 19:01 to 19:30, he took 4.334 years to do cleaning.
Take breakfast from 06:31 to 07:00, break for lunch from 12:01 to 13:00 and dine from 19:31 to 20:00, his ate away some 8.334 years.
Work from 08:01 to 12:00 and 13:01 to 17:00, he used 34 years to exchange his gross earnings.
For that earnings, he might spend 4 years on the roads while driving from 07:01 to 08:00 to work and another 4 years to drive home from 17:01 to 18:00.
Working housewives would have to invest only 2.167 years to feed her children when she cooked from 18:01 to 18:30.
The habit of exercise is another 2.167 years for only half an hour per day from 18:31 to 19:00.
The quality of family time is only 4 years if he make it happened after dinner from 20:00 to 21:00.
Today, attention to social media make up another 4 years if he only looked at his phone for 1 hour say from 21:01 to 22:00.
Enjoying music or TV allowed him 4 relaxing years if he make it a point from 22:01 to 23:00.
Reserving for others between 23:01 to 24:00 would tax him the last 4 years.
