don't waste my time

"In time" is a movie from 2011, a science fiction with a lot of special effects and action. It's set in a pretend real future, where people stop growing at 25 years old, but with a genetically embedded clock in their arm, programmed with only one year left, starting from their 25th birthday. The world is divided in "time zones" - poor and wealthy people are kept far from each other, as passing from one zone to another costs "life time".

It's a good film, that made me think what if we looked at our life in terms of "time". Money is our form of payment, but it's implicit in its definition that whatever is the cost, that is the material and manufacturing time. That's more evident when we talk about a service - we are paying "time". (Can a pattern be called a service? It costs a lot of time...)

superduo experiment, nearly 4 hours of my life

Recalling what one man writes down in the film, giving the protagonist a gift of 100 years, when we sell or give away something handmade, we should always give a note too, saying "don't waste my time".
