You likely want to reset time only on those files in the future.
For that:
touch /tmp/now ; find / -newer /tmp/now | xargs touch ; rm /tmp/now

As far as I am concerned not very close, but you may have different
tastes. :-) See also 'man touch' for what else you can do with it
(quite a lot, actually). There is no good way to change time on
symbolic links beyond deleting and recreating them with the current
time.
