If you’re reading this, I’m assuming you use a computer regularly. And if you use a computer regularly — whatever OS and platform it is — you’ll be familiar with the unnerving event of that instance when a computer program freezes and is waiting to come back to life.

Usually, this event is marked by a change in the cursor icon — an unending loop of animation sometimes inevitably pointing to our worst nightmare: a restart of the program and a loss of work!

On rare occasions though, waiting proves succesful and the program does come back from its comatose state.

If you’ve had to wait recently for a program, waste some more time by inputing your wait time into this global Marble of Doom and then see how much time waiting has really wasted.
