Why free time may become the world's most valuable asset?

[Fragrance1122]

AI, data, and money can be made again. 
But 24 hours can never become 25. That's the harsh truth.

Today companies fight for your attention with apps and ads. 
Tomorrow they will fight for your health, your family time, and your learning.

Remember that New ideas come from free time.
In a world where machines do the work, 
the people who own their free time will own the future.

Free time is not as valuable as you think. It is what you do with that free time that makes it valuable. One person can use his time to learn, think, and create, like you pointed out. Another can use that time to scroll through social media. At the end of the day, the value is in the time spent well.

AI has surely made our lives easier. It has given us more free time, and many will still waste it. So what's the essence of that time? Automation will replace many jobs and create more. Those who think and learn will be the ones to actually create those jobs.

You also pointed out how companies are competing for our free time. They want your free time by keeping you on social media, creating little or no value for you. The new type of value now will be creative thinking and critical thinking.

In this era, we should learn to manage our time as it is crucial for our minds and bodies.

Furthermore, someone with free time and less money has more advantage than someone with money and no free time. You have to understand that when creating wealth, your aim is to create as much free time for yourself as possible. That free time can be used to create value over time if used well. Freedom comes with free time, and that is the new gold.

Health and education have been two of the most lucrative markets in the world for decades already, especially when you look at the richest consumer market in the world - America. It can cost $250k if you even want a chance at training to become a doctor over there and it is scandalous how expensive it is to pay for "insurance" just to stay alive or cover basic ailments in that country too. It's also a country that has less "free time" than most others with a ridiculously low amount of government mandated holiday time, yet they have been one of the most innovative societies ever known. AI, data and money are just tools that can be used to compliment each other, but they are not indistinguishable from the other things that you mention either - all of these things have long blended together. Like data being used for learning and money is the lubricant that keeps the whole economy of transactions moving.

Not everyone with free time are going to use that to create new things. Actually, most people with a lot of free time under their disposal are just wasting it on useless activities, like social medias, therefore, it's not synonym of success.

I think the narrative of free time as valuable asset is just an excuse used by people who don't want to work on anything which demands commitment. So they keep lying to themselves that they are being productive by doing nothing and by not having schedules in life.

However highly valued they are placing AI or any other tech, none of it will exceed human value and so human time.  Its part of what drives capitalism, no matter how important people think cash is its really the time of people that matters far more hence there is always some drive towards a constant revolution of value in an economy.  Free time wont become the most valuable, it always has been its usually more obvious when you get old and realize :p
  The only way I can see AI justifying all this expense is via enabling people from the small to the great and rich in saving time, skipping the nonsense they dont need to be involved in.  If convenience and efficiency dont occur the tech will fail as many expect, imo it can happen it just needs refinement.

You are just correct, what matter most in life is how one uses his or her free time ,some use it to creat while some waste it on unnecessary things ,time is important and precious,24hours can  not be 25hours ,what is most important is how we use it ,but I can tell you for free,what matters and count is how one utilize their free time ,to bring things into existence one need to establish a good results requires a quality time to evaluate and make things right.

Even from the point of view of an individual, his own free time is not always valuable to him. And from the point of view of the economy as a whole, free time is worth nothing! The unemployed and part-time workers, the precariat, have a lot of free time. The problem is that the value of free time depends on who is using it. If it is the free time of a solvent economic entity, then it has value (if it is spent on watching ads, for example). Otherwise, it does not. Therefore, it is not the free time that has value, but the solvent demand.

I don't deny that someone's time is precious. My perspective is: Ultimately, the value of time is how you use it to your best advantage. Success isn't guaranteed for everyone, so dedicating time solely to success isn't always considered a good idea. Therefore, I won't judge young people who laze around or simply waste time in seemingly useless ways, while there's no guarantee that my struggles for retirement will bear fruit without enjoying the results for a moment or in the best possible condition.

The message that resonates with me: "Your time is yours, use it as you see fit without taking away anyone else's."

With and automation people would have free time, With enough automation, companies would be able to get your data without much action from yourself.
But with the decreasing population, human resource would be a sought-after asset in future. Specially in the hospitality sector as people would have more money and leisure.

When you are employed and placed on a salary structured. what you are being paid for is a combination of your time and the service you are rendering. no one pays for your time alone if you are not rendering the right service because there are a lot of others that are willing and waiting to do same job if they are giving the right opportunity. If you don't use your time for the right things, it is useless and you will just end up passing through life without having a single impact of any kind.

What has been the most valuable asset and is still being valued highly till tomorrow is the kind of service you can render. with an increasing population and people getting highly skilled, you should not sit back and talk about your time alone. the skills you have and your relevance to people matters more. time is a free asset that we don't have control over.

Time at all times has always been the most valuable resource, as it is non-renewable and non-renewable.

That's why employers (companies and corporations) buy our time to get work done. And often, this time is "sold" very cheaply.

Today companies fight for your attention with apps and ads. 

What about movies, TV series, video games, and so on? Nowadays, EVERYONE is competing for our attention (even this forum).

Tomorrow they will fight for your health, your family time, and your learning.

Medicine (clinics) "fight" for our health, because that's what their business model is built on. And the education system (courses, lessons, teachers and tutors, and so on, who make money from it) is responsible for education.

Come on what're you talking about. I guess you also know that the jobless people have the most longitudinal free times and yet they can't give any productive ness of their time's.
New ideas specifically comes from creative mindset and the inspirations can come either at your busy times probably as a reflection of what you're doing at the current time.
Perhaps the free times can only pave a way to REASON more diligently with the ability to bring your IDEAL into REALITY.
Don't also forget that the machines that does the human works only tend to relief man power and also save times while the machine is also governed by a man in a field of the machine at work.

These days after engaging in 9-5 jobs, in some cases 7 days a week, media companies still want to engage us. After work, we still spend more time on social media viewing content. Our phones and other devices are now what is used to relax. Most people no longer rest or sleep rather the media gets all the attention. Vacation is no longer worth it because we go with devices that will take all the time.

An example is my observations about children. While growing up we were creative enough to build our toys and equip our playground with all will need to be entertained. We could build musical instruments and sing to ourselves. We designed our costumes and acted out movies. This is not the case these days as children are glued or addicted to phones.

Qualifications for educational institutions and government departments have been reduced because the intelligence of children is reducing even when we claim that technology is making them smarter.

The only solution is to create boundaries. There should be a time for rest, meditation, and creative thinking. Free time should be used for productive activities because in most cases social media content is not worth it.

Time as always said is a valuable asset because once it is wasted you can't get it back. On the other hand to make freetime a valuable asset, one must make the free time valuable and worth it. There are a lot of people that have a whole lot of free time to themselves but they are not making use of the free time to do something good , they waste it on unnecessary things.
To make your free time valuable is to utilize it properly, you can learn new skills with your free time, think creatively of what you can do to grow and develop yourself more, start up a business. Continuous learning is key in our todays world and we must ensure our free time is not wasted.
Freetime is most valuable when it is used judiciously and wisely.

[asriloni]

Your statement about new ideas come from free time is only applicable for those who have financial freedom. For people who are poor, it's not applicable. The fact that you can get free time as long as you don't care anymore about how to work for money. Your life is already good financially. So you can have free time to think what to create or inovate.

you're right time is valuable thing, but different person. different context about how valuable the time is. You can't really say a poor guy's free time is really as valuable as Elon's free time.

In this context, financial also matter too in order to provide the facility for someone to create something. That's why there is a superstition time is money.

If free time is a valuable asset, then I'm probably a millionaire right now.
The companies, that are fighting for your attention online are actually fighting for your money. They are showing you ads, because they want you to buy their products, not because they are craving for your attention. You have to remember that, if something is for free, this means that you are the product. If you are using an app or social media platform for free, this means that the value of that particular social media platform or app raises, just because it has more active users and the advertisers want more active users.
New Ideas come from experience and hard work, not from just having free time and doing nothing. A stupid lazy person with lots of free time cannot suddenly come up with a brilliant idea.

[michellee]

Free time is a treasure for some people. They work hard without enjoying their free time as they can back to work without thinking about the time. Having free time is the most valuable asset as you can use it for family which you forget many times. Only few people realizing that they don't have quality time for their family because they are work hard with the reason for the family. So that makes them can't see their kids grow up and missed many good things in their family. They really need to have and enjoy free time for themselves or family so they can balancing their lives and not just working to chasing the world.

[Satofan44]

Free time is not as valuable as you think. It is what you do with that free time that makes it valuable. One person can use his time to learn, think, and create, like you pointed out. Another can use that time to scroll through social media. At the end of the day, the value is in the time spent well.

That is what most people do not get, and you can see that the thread started in the wrong direction. Most people already have enough free time, and they are wasting it on the most stupid and meaningless things that they could. How many are spending ridiculous amounts of hours on their smartphones, watching TV and other useless activities? Giving more free time to a person like this will not make them better, it will make them worse.

AI has surely made our lives easier. It has given us more free time, and many will still waste it. So what's the essence of that time? Automation will replace many jobs and create more. Those who think and learn will be the ones to actually create those jobs.

Losing your job to get more free time that you will spend on more idiotic activities will hurt these people, it will not contribute them anything -- this is, with the assumption that they will be provided an amount of money that completely compensates for the income loss.

You also pointed out how companies are competing for our free time. They want your free time by keeping you on social media, creating little or no value for you. The new type of value now will be creative thinking and critical thinking.

I've never participated, I am completely opted out. The world looks entirely different if you are not part of that cancer, but most people are. They will even invent reasons why they "need it" to try to justify it when criticized.

Free time is a treasure for some people. They work hard without enjoying their free time as they can back to work without thinking about the time. Having free time is the most valuable asset as you can use it for family which you forget many times. Only few people realizing that they don't have quality time for their family because they are work hard with the reason for the family.

They really need to have and enjoy free time for themselves or family so they can balancing their lives and not just working to chasing the world.

"Free time" that is used looking at your smartphone is not "free time". It is an addict taking another hit of his addiction. Most people are like that. Very few know how to use free time.

[lovesmayfamilis]

Free time? Today's youth seem to have a lot of it, but where it goes is a big question. How many people do you know who spend their time on the kind of "free time" that they set aside to implement their ideas and new projects? There are few such people, and they don't have much time. Good and valuable ideas do not arise from idleness, from doing nothing. All talented projects are created with a lot of work, not physical but mental, since mental work is no easier than what people spend their physical strength on.

But there is another association with the expression "free time"; this is the time that is spent watching videos on gadgets, playing computer games, and all that many people call leisure. It is only as people get older and understand the transience of time that they begin to regret their missed opportunities and the lost time they spent doing useless things.

Having a free time to reflect on your life and think is very important in the life of human, in today's world people find it very difficult to keep their phone and enjoy nature while thinking about their life and their future most young people don't think anymore don't even enjoy the nature they focus on their phone because of social media the only time they live their phone is when they want to sleep which is very bad and wrong, as a human if you can think then there's a possibility that you can bring great idea that will make you great in the future I actually like the statement by you OP which says "the people who own their free time will own the future"
