So a few weeks ago, I switched my bike's console from showing the time to showing its total mileage. After all, what's the use of knowing minute-to-minute how early/late I'm going to be? It's a bad idea to be in a hurry on two wheels.
I'm enjoying the change.
It makes me wonder if there's a philosophical/hypertension difference between people with wrist-watches and anachronists who use their smartphone as a pocket-watch. There's got to be an entire history of cultures' concepts of time, and the ways they sync their collective knowledge of the current time. Does a citywide clock tower's chimes count as hive-mind infrastructure?
