It puts more focus on the little things that make up most of
your time; your lifeisn't really that trip that you took last
summer, it is the countable times that you walked down thesame way
to get to your office, that one house on the corner with that crazy
dog, you know, how many hours of your life have you spent listening
to hotel California on the radio.That is the beauty of this kind of
representation. If you can take something thatrepresents millions
or even billions of actions and reduce it to something that is
consumable
Efficiency and Social Consciousness
