Time and the Machine

Over time, the human race has started to obsess over time, which makes life very stressful. Before the people did not pay attention to time they were on their own schedule. Now, we are not on our own schedule we are on times schedule. This is very stressful; we constantly are trying to meet the deadline of time.
