One of the very few things in our life that once gone is forever gone and happens to be the essence of every single happening in the history of the universe is undoubtedly time.
As soon as human race started excelling in every walk of life, mankind was in dire need to not only keep track of their progress but also to keep themselves aware of stupendous activities naturally happening around them.
The first and the foremost struggle to quantify this process of happenings resulted in chronometry that relies upon calendar and clock to measure time.
Regarded as one of the oldest inventions, clock helped in tracking each hour, minute and second through the centuries with different designs and measurement phenomena and later advanced to tracking of milliseconds, microseconds and nanoseconds etc. for time sensitive events.
During the last century, the tremendous pace of technology resulted in many break throughs in medical science, engineering and especially in computer science.
Each invention from scientists was aimed to save time and increase its productivity so that human race could make best use of the time and stride towards more and more technological goals at a rapid speed.
The last two decades or so revolutionized the horizon with the advent of personal computers and smartphones that took the world by storm and redefined our ways of communication, infotainment, sports, education, health and trade.
Everything comes with a price. People were in awe as these technological gadgets started embedding in our life till the point where everyone now thinks that without these things their life will cease to exist.
People of all ages have dramatically altered their lifestyles as soon as technology hit their lives and everything related to humans in one way or other seems to revolve around technical and scientific knowledge.
This scenario provokes a common excuse which relates to people that they are not only using computer for education or infotainment purposes once in a while but they are actually addicted to it and cannot help themselves. This has affected our lifestyles, social gatherings and physical activities.
Every picture has two sides. If one side is an excuse for wastage of time by the use of technology and the other side of picture reveals the infinite possibilities that humans would not have aimed and achieved without the help of technology, then there must exist a balancing act to nullify the so called “damages”.
Various time tracking applications for desktop computers and mobile platforms have been developed in some recent years that not only notify you to be busy at regular intervals of time but also help you to increase your physical activities.
MoveOn is an extension developed for Google Chrome browser that notifies you of your age in years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds whenever you open a new tab in the browser.
The users enter their date of birth once after the installation of the extension.
By comparing user’s age with average life expectancy of humans it generates the percentage of life that the user has lived compared to the average age of humans.
Extension can be installed using this link.
