Time is a finite resource. I’m running out of it already. After a few breathless breaths， my day is near already over. So， when technology chooses 1）vindictively to not work， like when your computer freezes or there’s no phone signal， it’s as if machines hate the idea of your happiness and your success. They 2）squander your precious time. My idea is to create a personal time bank. This records exactly how much of your day has been lost to this 3）sadistic technology. Just before you sleep， you’ll strap on your phone onto your head， turning it into a personal virtual reality environment. PING. Suddenly you’re on Brad and Angelina’s 4）idyllic island， a perfect getaway. In real terms you’ll be there for exactly the time you lost during the day. In 5）neural terms， time will stretch by 10 times. You can also connect with others， and group your lost time， so it feels even longer. This way， one lost frustrating minute from the day will feel like 60 6）rejuvenating minutes on a better side of the planet. You just got revenge on technology. Maybe time doesn’t have to be a finite resource after all.

時間是一種有限的資源，而我正在將它消耗殆盡。經(jīng)過幾次上氣不接下氣的呼吸之后，一天便這樣接近了尾聲。因此，當(dāng)科技產(chǎn)品惡意地選擇罷工時，比如說電腦停止運作或者手機失去了信號，仿佛連機器都厭惡你對幸福與成功的想法。它們浪費了你寶貴的時間。我想創(chuàng)造一個私人時間銀行。這個銀行會精確地記錄你在殘酷的科技產(chǎn)品面前浪費的時間。在你剛準備睡覺之前，你把手機用帶子捆綁在你的頭上，把它轉(zhuǎn)變成私人的虛擬的現(xiàn)實世界。乒。突然你會置身于布拉德和安吉麗娜的閑適恬靜的島嶼，一次完美的逃離。從現(xiàn)實的角度來說，你在那里度過的時間正是你在一天中所浪費的時間。從神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)的角度說，時間會延長十倍。你也可以聯(lián)系其他人，把浪費的時間聚集起來，使時間顯得更長。這樣，你一天里所浪費的令人懊喪的一分鐘將會變成重生的六十分鐘，存在于這個星球的更美好的另一邊。你就這樣成功報復(fù)了科技產(chǎn)品。畢竟，也許時間并非總是一種有限的資源。
