A timeline is a way of displaying a list of events in chronological order, sometimes described as a project artifact. It is typically a graphic design showing a long bar labeled with dates alongside itself and (usually) events labeled on points where they would have happened.
Timelines are often used in education to help students and researchers with understanding events and trends for a particular subject. A timeline is related to,[clarification needed] either one or all of the three, 1. the question or, that is, inquiry of when--one of the five Ws, 2. the subject or, that is, either concept or idea of time, and 3. the science of chronology.
Timelines are particularly useful for studying history, as they convey a sense of change over time. Wars and social movements are often shown as timelines. Timelines are also useful for biographies. Examples include:
Timelines are also used in the natural world and sciences for subjects such as astronomy, biology and geology.
Another type of timeline is used for project management. In these cases, timelines are used to help team members to know what milestones need to be achieved and under what time schedule. For example in the case of establishing a project timeline in the implementation phase of the life cycle of a computer system.
I am in this maze
and everywhere I face
the walls are staring back at me,
A road beyond the far
transcending past the stars
unending through the dark above
So, while you're waiting
for the wheel to come around...
Lost in time and space,
existence left no trace,
yet I'm aware and on my way
A fractured state of mind,
an instant trapped in time,
the shadow half of life deranged
So, while you're waiting
for the wheel to come around
Smile to your maker
she's somewhere, she's around
I gotta run to live, I wanna be alive
I have a reason now, I wanna be alive
If i should ever find
a way I still don't know
if I could trade my life away
Yet should I stay behind,
then you will never know
of all the wonders I have seen
So, while you're waiting
for the wheel to come around
Smile to your maker
she's somewhere, she's around
I gotta run to live, I wanna be alive
