This short paper presents a concept involving time and technology, that will seem to make "time stand still." It involves the nature of technology and how it affects our lives. If we define Q' as a non-dimensional measure of the quality and quantity of technology in our lives, in general, it can be said that Q' has increased over time. But more than that, the rate of Q' has increased over time, becoming dramatically faster recently. Recall that in Alvin Toffler's, Future Shock, as a individual, we become overwhelmed by technological advances. This paper proposes a limit in time, where technology becomes so advanced that time is not only an illusion, but meaningless.
