Timeless 1.0 & 2:0

Timeless is one of many utopian attempts to harmonize man with nature. Large amount of daylight will provide freedom from idleness. This is why most people function and work much more effectively and much think faster. The question is whether it is possible to optimize the functioning of the world surrounding us.
It is possible to design products which, while expressing certain ideas, can also posses useful features. This was the main reason to initiate a new way of measuring time. A way which would let us use time more effectively.
How could we change this system and get rid of the in-congruency between the way of measuring time and the rules of nature?
The solution was to divide day in half. Both periods; between dusk and sunrise and between sunrise and dusk would last '12 hours'. At sunrise the time would always be 6 A.M. and at sunset would always be 6 P.M. We have kept a look of a classic clock while making the time units more dynamic, fitting them into the assumptions of the new system and making them dependent on the actual length of a day and a night.
To introduce this idea we needed to use digital media. To put the Timeless idea into practice we applied available technology designed for mobile devices. They give a wonderful sense of freedom. Every function is adaptable to individual needs.
This is the Timeless. Timeless is our personal question about the definitions of time. Definitions accepted by societies. Definitions and concepts which shape our common reality. Timeless involves many semantic surfaces. The next gadget is one of many technological improvements.
A completely needless piece of software which provokes a question about existing innovations and their roles into the contemporary society. Timeless is close to the idea of freeware but has a commercial look. Timeless is a trick proposition questio-ning what is commerce and what is really useful.
Finally, Timeless is an utopian idea which takes up the issues of absolute systems and natural living space.
Timeless 2.0 is based on Java technology and Global Positioning System.
