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.


　　时间是一种有限的资源，而我正在将它消耗殆尽。经过几次上气不接下气的呼吸之后，一天便这样接近了尾声。因此，当科技产品恶意地选择罢工时，比如说电脑停止运作或者手机失去了信号，仿佛连机器都厌恶你对幸福与成功的想法。它们浪费了你宝贵的时间。我想创造一个私人时间银行。这个银行会精确地记录你在残酷的科技产品面前浪费的时间。在你刚准备睡觉之前，你把手机用带子捆绑在你的头上，把它转变成私人的虚拟的现实世界。乒。突然你会置身于布拉德和安吉丽娜的闲适恬静的岛屿，一次完美的逃离。从现实的角度来说，你在那里度过的时间正是你在一天中所浪费的时间。从神经系统的角度说，时间会延长十倍。你也可以联系其他人，把浪费的时间聚集起来，使时间显得更长。这样，你一天里所浪费的令人懊丧的一分钟将会变成重生的六十分钟，存在于这个星球的更美好的另一边。你就这样成功报复了科技产品。毕竟，也许时间并非总是一种有限的资源。
