19. Adventures With Technology: Time Travel

This article by Adrienne LaFrance, a senior associate editor at The Atlantic, is actually not written by LaFrance, but it is published by her. This article is a part of The Atlantic's "Adventures with Technology" series, where anyone can send their stories about their adventures with technology to The Atlantic. This story, from an anonymous writer, talks about time travel. We all travel through time, slowly but surely, the time travel being mention is more of a relative perspective time travel. How technology such as smart phones have allowed us to feel as if we are travelling faster into the future. With the arrival and development of new technologies, waiting in line and waiting in general, has become an easier task. Nowadays everyone time travels by looking through their phones while waiting in line, waiting for someone, waiting for a bus, etc. It is an extraordinary thing if thought about, the fact that we can manipulate time by using it.  
This writer writes a very strong and interesting topic in a very short article. He/she writes of a more figurative way of time travel and the adventures he/she has experienced due to it. The writer covers the points very well and casually explains the "time travel" that we experience through our everyday life.
