Lives were not always dominated by the clock -- until Frederick Winslow Taylor brought his stopwatch on the shop floor and started timing how long it took to do each part of a job. Taylor's stopwatch eventually revolutionized the American workplace, and his ideas about efficiency continue to shape modern lives.
