The wallpaper is a factory assembly line. This is because he developed scientific management, which revolutionized the way factories and manufacturing were organized and planned.

Song 1 - Fly Like an Eagle, by the Steve Miller Band

"Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'... Into the future..."

Taylor would listen to this song a lot because his way of managing and organizing manufacturing focused a lot on conserving as much time as possible. He knew that time was money, and that you had to take advantage of it.

Song 2 - Steel Town, by Airbourne

"Steel town
Living in a steel town
Free and proud
Steel town "

Taylor would have this song because he spent much of his career helping with steel manufacturing. One of his first jobs was being a laborer at Midvale Steel in 1878, and then later helped to manage Bethlehem Steel Plant in 1898, where he gained fame and cemented his success.

Song 3 - Control, by Janet Jackson

"This is a story about control
My control
Control of what I say
Control of what I do"

Taylor would appeal to some of his darker aspects with this song about control, because one of the main contributors to his success in management was taking away control from laborers and giving it to their superiors. Taylor demanded maximum control over workers in order to improve efficiency and speed of production.

Taylor - You're running late, Johnson! If you're not at the plant in five minutes, you'll find yourself looking through the newspaper's job section by tomorrow!

Johnson (Laborer at a factory run by Taylor) - I'm sorry boss, I was up late taking care of my sick wife and I slept through my alarm.

Taylor - Do you think I care? I need every worker at the plant exactly when I say! The steel isn't going to make itself. It's people like you that put places out of business.

Taylor was a control freak, and wouldn't stand for people not handling the work they were expected to. He probably wasn't liked very much by the laborers under him, but it was because of this no-nonsense attitude that he was able to improve the efficiency of production.

Taylor would probably have this image of an old steel plant as his lock screen, because so much of his success was built around steel. His organization, budget skills, and time management in factories became legendary, after he spent years working the same jobs that he would later control.

Picture 2

This picture of a wall of clocks was probably an aspect of Taylor's dream house. He obsessed over time management and shift organization, and couldn't stand to waste a minute of valuable manufacturing time

Taylor would love to see this picture of a factory supervisor keeping a close eye on workers. He believed that supervision and tight control was essential in creating an efficient, productive work environment.

App 1

Taylor would love to have the app "Evernote" on his phone. This would allow him to carefully plan each and every task for him and his workers to complete in a certain time.

App 2

Taylor would make great use of the stopwatch app on his phone. He is well known for developing the "stopwatch technique," where a supervisor or manager would use time as a means to measure how productive workers were with certain supplies and materials.

App 3

frederick_bannier — 2017-11-10 18:59:50 UTC

Frederick Taylor would certainly be addicted to the app "Manufacturing 360," developed by Siemens. Using this app, he would be able to view techniques used by other companies and factories. This might allow him to improve his own methods of organizing the workplaces he was responsible for, and he might share some of his ideas as well.
