Bullet time(*)

The other day I was watching this really nice TV series, Hustle(this has nothing to do with this article) and it got me thinking about the "bullet time". In the series it is used as an occasional tool
by the bunch of con-players to actually explain what's going on to the viewers.

Anyways, Wiki defines bullet time as "a digitally enhanced simulation of variable speed (i.e.slow motion,time lapse etc…) photography characterized both by its extreme transformation of time and space". That is everything around you just sort of stops or moves at a pace far lesser than you do. For geeks, this means "one second" in others reality means a lot more time than that in your reality.Talk about making the most of one second. I was just wondering if this sort of thing isn't limited to just movies fantasy etc and maybe possible in our real lives too. I mean we are all having a busy day with hardly any time to even catch our breath, by the use of bullet time we would all be fine without much troubles that way. And ya, what about the night before exams??Everybody would love it. Of course it would be banned in sports but elsewhere it would be quite handy. When the day is not quite up to your liking you can always think about where it is going wrong without wasting any time and would correct it almost instantly. What a revelation it is going to cause to this world!!!
But when I look at it the other way round I think only a loser, a pure-sure loser would opt for such a thing to make some difference in his life. Nobody who is willing to fight it out would prefer such a thing in his daily lifestyle. This sure acts like a shortcut to make your life easy but at the same time this may cut your life as well. Counting on the bad points there are many of them and better off if they aren't stated. But ya it might end up making us more handicapped as opposed to the freedom we have got. Gosh, why doesn't anyone makes a movie on it anyway???

P.S. I wrote this thing as a part of blabbering as I had nothing to do during these holidays and was itching to get on with something and keep myself busy. And anyways bullet time would never be for those who are already lazy enough to do anything.
