I don’t know if turning our lives to such devices is a good thing or the good old days were better when we didn’t have such things.

I personally believe that we might have improved many aspects in modern times but perhaps the real quality of life is missing. We have so much abundance at our disposal yet we have no time to sit, relax and ponder as our previous generations did. Everyone is so busy and work like a machine in huge metros that he has lost the sense of a more delicate nature within him who loved poetry, music, art etc. He reads books that too learn about how to improve efficiency or be more successful. We are in the best times in our history and yet beset with more threatening issues than anytime in past. World is now a better place to live in or it was a generation ago is a debatable issue.

It reminds me of one of my favorite authors (and loop quantum gravity theorist) Carlo Rovelli. We are all events bumping into each other. And without events there is no such thing as time. It’s all relative. Kind regards, Dan

About a week to ten days

I had been thinking about my relationship with time for a bit but a recent trip to Geneva and opportunity to discuss it with a variety of people brought it to a resolution. Writing itself was about 3 hours over 2 days (draft and edits). I will admit, the ...
Very nice essay.

I’ll admit that while I love my mechanical watches and post occasionally about them, I’m amongst the horde that has decamped to an Apple Watch for daily wear. In many ways, I find it an even more personal device than a mechanical watch as it is not only c...

Thank you for sharing more widely these thoughts on an aspect that we all grapple with at some juncture of our lives. That we all love these tiny instruments of time measurements is our mutual and shared passion. With out passion in our lives, I suggest o...
