How old am I really?...
Have I lived as long as my birth certificate seems to indicate?
This comprehensive website would allow users to input either a rough or detailed account of hours in ones 'actual' life lost to things such as; One third of living lost to unconsciousness. Depending on
age, one fifth of living lost to earning enough to survive. Injury recovery down-time. Time lost waiting for red-lights. ATM [please wait] time-outs. Toll-booths.
Not a call for a list. I wouldn't do that. I'm like, only twelve...ish.

So... you think that it's a bad idea to contemplate time squandered? This would just be an on-line calculator for mathically challenged folks to figure out just how much of that down-time is quality time over quantity time. How much is actually your own? How much of your life have you 'really' been living? |

It's an exercise in futility I know... but an interesting one I thought. |
|
|
I bet the site would get hits... |
|

Why, it could change lives...<nudge-nudge>, c'mon, y'know y'wanna bun this... You look me in the eye and tell me you don't like the idea on some level. |

This deserves a bun. Every modern country tracks lifespan, but it's much harder to find information for quality of lifespan. |

[+] Yes, I would like to know how much time gets wasted from my bad diabetes days! Illness cuts into the quality of life and the quantity, too! |

I love this. People like to brag about how much longer we live than pre-agricultural societies. But I wonder what it might look like if you subtract all of the time we lose. |

For one, they worked less than we do (and they still do, where we have not run them out on a rail.) They did not have to spend as much time isolated in a car. |
