She points out that Taiwan ranks first in the world in per-capita terms for both convenience stores and mobile phones, reflecting an obsession with "immediacy" -Taiwanese hate to wait. Because time is a scarce resource, convenience stores can be seen as a "revolution in time," giving time a kind of uniformity. No matter what hour you come in, the shelves are fully stocked, the lights all on.
她指出，台灣便利商店的密度和手機的持有率都是全球第一，反映了我們對「即時性」生活的著迷，由於時間已是稀少資源，因此便利商店也可視為是一種「時間革命」，賦予了時間一種同質性──無論你何時光顧，都是貨品滿架、燈火通明。
