we need it for everday life to see when the bus arives to see when its time to get to work we are dependent on time to make the day work have you tought of that? try not to have a watch or look at a watch for 1 week you get crazy ( i do at least i forgot what day it was...) anyway what i wanted to say is that i think i would like it if we dumped the idea of time it just stress people i get stressed, you now for example you wake up one morning take a shower start to eat your breakfast and then you realise that in 10 minutes you need to be at work and you havent even started brushing you teeth ;P time stress people...
someone need to invent a system where you dont need to keep track at the time so people would feel more comfortable and still work as much as they used to [img]smile.gif[/img]

this is just a tought i got in my silly mind if ya dont like it please dont complain at me im just a 14 year old stupid little Colombian called Cristian without H [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Life without time would be chaos, as humans we have a concept of time but animals don't. A dog doesn't know how long its been sitting outside the front door for example, our society couldn't survive without time because we've based our lifestyles around it. The modern world depends on it as much as air and melons.

No, life without time would be like living in Hawai'i. Life on island time is the best

Also I beg to differ that animals have no concept of time. My cat certainly acts different when I return from being gone for more then a day (she get very upset!).

I'm saying it would be impossible for our sophisticated society to function, imagine airports without schedules...how are we supposed to get to those islands with all the air traffic huh

Thats what I first thought about too when I heard that animals have no sense of tiem. I presume that they can tell when say a night passes or when a long period of time has passed.
