Lets Rewind

It started as a simple thought, which then grew into a complex concept that seemed to overwhelm my mind. We all remember as children the idea of a watch that can stop, play, pause, rewind or fast forward time and how cool it would be. I believe it was R.L. Stine that influenced my thoughts on this device (or some other YTV show). As a child, it seemed so incredible that if anyone ever made it, you would want it in an instant. The more and more I began to think about if this device was present developed 2 different sides. The first side, thinking of how incredible life would be if one had this time device. You could relive the best times of your life by the press of a button, pause time for that extra time needed for tests/exams and hell, just to mess around with the world (insert hilarious idea here, may i suggest switching everyone's clothes and then pressing play again). With all these positive outcomes, it was hard for me to think otherwise, but sadly enough I believe that this idea is quite angering and has developed a grudge in my mind. Is it possible, that maybe someone has actually invented this device but has not revealed it to the world? Who would ever know...truly? Even if someone had discovered it by snooping in their friends room for instance, they could just rewind the world and replay everything that has happened. This individual could play the role of 'God' and control the world in whichever way they pleased. Take a second and think about all of the geniuses in the world today. One of them could potentially have this device. All they would need to do is wait for an outstanding breakthrough in science to come along (say the cure for cancer), pause the world, take as much time needed to understand the concept and then just hit the rewind button, followed by play. At this time, they could put out this breakthrough at a time before it was made to be. This is just one of the reasons that the thought of this device troubles me. The person could cheat their way through life essentially, getting jackpot numbers and winning all the time if they really wanted to. Most of these circumstances are related to the 'rewind' portion, but there are clearly endless possibilities with all the buttons. If someone had actually invented this device...would the world ever actually know? This is the concept that I'll leave you with for now.
