if you look about the role of time in datacommunication you feel the human touch of computers. one of the few lines that i can't find something compareable for are: 'my time is my own' and 'to slow down time for a time', something human forgot and machine can do if they realize they are too fast. the bus guardian doesn't seem to be a bad idea. he keeps track about who can "say" something for how long but you also can say he provides the possibility that everyone gets heard; without interruption. reminds me of the use of the hourglass for restricting speakers time. imho.

¿living without time? keep playing with your slide rule.
