One of my professors in
the anthropology Department of George Washington University, the controversial
Dr. Patrick Gallagher, used to lecture us about time - partly about the
cultural relativity of beliefs about time.
He was also trying to
make what he considered an important point when he said, "You can't be
late until you get there… and then you're there…"
Huh?
Well, it was the 60's,
an era when time was certainly being 'bent' with all manner of substances, but
he was also trying to get us to understand something about the tyranny of time…

WITH IT! EXPERIENTIAL APPS
An opportunity to experiment with some fun
ideas...
Time is an important commodity in the interactions between humans.
We give our time to help
others.
We take up someone's
time.
We say: "Time is
money".
We waste time.
We buy time.
We pay on time.
We do things in a timely
manner.
The list goes on and on and yet most of us probably never stop to think
about our personal relationship with time and how we came to believe these
things.
Think about it:
What does time mean to you… and how do you use it?
