time goes into the memories

A grand question I myself have pondered over for long!!
Almost on a daily basis new gadgets and technologies are coming up to save time ..... to do everything faster as well as more accurately. Billions of people are saving millions of hours every day. Where is all this saved time gone? How come almost everyone is working more than normal hours ...... more and more women are also joining work.
Then are we using up all the saved time? Since efficiency is also being increased steadily, so much of higher usage at better efficiency should really have resulted in much greater well being for all ........ that does not seem to be the case ..... we as the next generation do not certainly seem more satisfied than the previous one, by far.
It is indeed a grand question as to where all the saved time is gone or wasted.
I have only one answer to this apparent paradox .... could be just a hypothesis ...... that we ought to be spending our time unnecessarily, meaning our priorities are going haywire. An example at an individual level is a couple working overtime to buy the latest model car and therefore being forced to employ a governess at home to look after two young children ....... thereby sacrificing the joy of spending time with one's own kids and at the same time, abducting the responsibility as well. The impact is multifarious.
Oh...... the topic is s..o very intriguing that it may take hell of a lot to come to any conclusion ....... let me just finish by sharing a thought .......... we are so very short of time because we have booked all our precious time on unnecessary materialistic desires, leaving no space for the pleasure of leisure and the boon of emotional tyings!! We get more and more, we give more and more, and ultimately no one is happier!!

Time is a concept and is not matter or energy, so it "goes" nowhere. Time is the interval between two or more events. It relates to motion. Stop all motion and there is no time. Going back in time refers the interval between past events; the future are motions yet to happen. Because time between two motions is relative, it is possible that time can be different for different occurences...such as Einstein's theory that someone traveling at the speed of light comes back to find his twin much older.

For time to go somewhere it should exist for real, right ?
Well I don't want to be too philosophical and tax the readers' brains.
Time goes in learning, about the world, about yourself.
Since real knowledge gained is useful for one's progress in life.
But usually it takes too long to learn too little that's real knowledge and worth knowing.
So time goes and goes and goes and one learns little and makes use of it even to a lesser degree.
But that's what the life is all about.
Don't worry about time.
Everyone is human, everyone makes mistakes.
Don't worry about mistakes.
Don't worry about past whether great or lesser.
Don't dream too much about future.
Learn, think and apply.
Do right thing, apply right thing and hope for the best.
Since everyone is human after all.

Only one who is enjoying what they are doing, misses the time... But... when you are not having much fun.. it's boring... or things are really bad in a situation, then you will find time drags on and on... a minute is like unto an hour..... and an hour is a seeming day long period.....
But, have fun.... and an hour is no more than a few minutes....

Time doesnt actually go anywhere being as it doesnt exist, time is a word in a lexicon used to describe a phenomena we percieve and describe but that has no existance it is nothing more than an idea or a theory.

When time comes, it passes, and before you know it, it's gone. Never to come back, never to be seen or heard from again. But just because time doesn't come back, it doesn't mean it doesn't stay. Just look at all the memoirs and journals and books and museums from the past. The time passed but its memory and glory stayed behind.

This is not quite an answer, but there is an Irish saying that God must have loved time, because He made so much of it.

Time is not substance. Its imaginary . A mind-crutch to help us deal
with movement. Probably invented by clockmakers.
