Can ‘downtime’ be used with humans also?


Can ‘downtime’ be used with humans also?

It's a term that was first used in factories. A factory's ‘downtime’ is the period when its machines are switched off. It's also used with computers. A computer's downtime is the period when it is switched off. When it is not in use. So when a person talks about downtime, he is referring to the period when he does not work. He relaxes.



*   If it's downtime you want, work for a government organization.

*   Last year we didn't get downtime between projects. It was just terrible.
