Time and the Machine

...

humans. You can go to McDonalds and get food I less than two minutes and not even get out of your vehicle. This leads to obesity. There are so many pros and cons to time and the machine being invented.

This is a very hard problem to fix, we are growing economically but in the end is it ultimately good or bad? We are on time’s scheduling not our own anymore. Time and the machine have taken over the world. Pollution, jobs, obesity, and stress are just a few outcomes of this. We could fix this problem but everyone would have to be on the same page. We would actually have to metaphorically move back in time.

Back in the day we may have not produced things very fast but people were not as stressed because of time. We are so used to time being a stable ‘rule’ of leave by this time; have this done by a certain time. When we used to not stress and have it done when it would best fit our schedule. Nowadays we are obsessed with time we use it all throughout the day, constantly. We have to know what time it is so we can be on time. This makes for a stressful schedule. I believe one day we will go back to modern times, someday after we realize how many problems the industry causes our beautiful country, but until then this essay is due tomorrow.
