The Human Timetable for Life
What is the nature of the timetable of human life in our World in 2014.?
What is its core Architecture, its order, and sequence?
How do people use up the time that they are allocated as life?
What priorities does this ordering of time expose ?
This analysis explores the data of this human timescale.
The Numbers
Total number of humans who have ever lived on Earth. = 107,000,000,000
Source: Population Reference Bureau
Total Number of humans living on Earth = 7,000,000,000
Total number of dead humans who have ever lived on Earth = 100,000,000,000
Ratio of dead to living on Earth = 14 dead for 1 living
Total number of people who have lived in Britain between
5000 BC and 2011. from data approx. = 203,000,000
Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demography_of_England

Number of living people in Britain = 63,230,000

Total number of people who have lived in Britain between
5000 BC and 2011. and are therefore dead from data approx.= 83,000,000 to
140,000,000
Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demography_of_England

Ratio of dead to living in Britain = 3 dead for 1 living

Time in Retirement = 18 years

Lifespan = 82 years

Hours awake = 60% of life
Hours asleep = 40% of life
Hours in procreation sex = 0.5% of married and total life
Source for data before extrapolation: Daily Mail 23/04/2014
Hours driving a car = 16% of life
Hours in leisure = 16% of life
Conclusions
Earth is a planet populated by the dead not the living.
The maximum age of human beings on Earth has been constant for most of human evolution.
Humans
In our own century the maximum human age has almost trebled.
The amount of knowledge contained within the human community about the Earth, needs, values, quality, appreciations of beauty, cultures, societies, economic and social control methods, warfare and the arts is increasing and being developed, communicated, understood, adapted, communicated and stored at an increasing density because of this increase in the human lifespan.
Human beings in our own age are supported by the human State, Nation, Family, Political, Economic, Social network for 20% of their lifespan.
Human beings in our own age are educated by the human State, Nation, Family, Political, Economic, Social network for 22% of their lifespan.
Human beings in our own age can be educated by the human State, Nation, Family, Political, Economic, Social network for up to 33% of their lifespan.
Human beings in our own age can work for the human State, Nation, Family, Political, Economic, Social network for up to 43% of their lifespan.
Human beings in our own age can be retired for up to 22% of their lifespan.
Human beings in our own age can be married for up to 39% of their lifespan.
Human beings spend 60 % of their life awake and 40% of their life asleep.
Human beings spend 0.5% of their married and total life in procreation sex.
Human beings spend 16% of their lives using transport and in leisure.
The Architecture, the order, the priority for humans therefore is to be awake, to work, to sleep, to be married, to be educated, to eventually retire, to engage in leisure or distraction from life and finally to help create and raise another generation.
