If there was a tax on time would somehow, it seems that today is the most valuable asset!

Some time ago I saw an interesting film “Timeline,” you have you seen? Everyone was paying anything to survive over time. People had a bracelet on their wrist which measured everything, it was anchored at one and the unit of measure was just  time! Finished the AA arrangement was paid with the same life! hallucinating!

I do not like science fiction, but sometimes they make me think, do you remember “Star Trek”? when they spoke with the remote phones and two-way radios? think about where we are today with technology and it’s only been 20 years. Our phones are everything and if you want you can also see, just get the video! I’m waiting for teleport….ahahahah 🙂

The world runs, technology is running, time is running out … and we run? maybe too much!
