Something about waiting

Waiting could be a very gruelling process for some even if it proves very rewarding at the “end”. Sometimes waiting too long would just waste your energy, resources and more importantly time. Time wasted could not be “taken back” or re-used in some sense unless someone builds a time machine then that would be great and would it surely help, and pester, a lot of people. Nonetheless time machines are still inexistent in our era so wasting one’s time could be considered a grave fault. Sadly a lot of people tend to waste others time for various reasons and excuses.
With that said time should not be put aside just like your scratch paper since this should be one of the most important resources we have and it’s slowly fading away. 

 It might be safe to say that in today's generation, including I of course, that the term "waiting" seems to be losing its weight and meaning. One example of that are the instant things that we have; instant noodles, text, 3 in 1 and the list goes on. Maybe waiting is not as popular as it was before, way back in the days people would wait for a very long time for things to happen. Well today's magnificent technology makes waiting almost non-existent. Just like a coin it is not completely bad or good, though it can be pretty subjective in some cases. For example heavy equipments are used when producing our food these days, for workers, consumers and owners the presence and use of heavy equipment in food production is a good thing since this helps in productivity, specifically in speed. On the other hand it may pose a great danger to workers as these machines, heavy equipments and the like, could either malfunction or "take over" their jobs. Take over in a sense that the workers are not needed there anymore and maybe a select number, around one to three, of workers would suffice. 

Again this just reminds us that nothing in this world is absolutely certain and by certain I mean the good and bad of it. There are also some "tiring" activities that people do from time to time, one of which is waiting, and it just can't be taken away easily. These activities should still bear some considerable weight before being thrown out the window but "freedom" usually interferes with things...
