I'm forty now but it always seemed that time moved a lot slower when I was a child. We used to drive to the beach as a family in the summer and the seven hour trip seemed to take an eternity. As I get older, the trip that long seems to be a lot faster in my perception. Therefore, I have come to the belief that time seems to move faster as I get older. Is it because my brain is fuller with the knowledge of the world?
I also think that technology might also play a role in my perception of time. It seems that with more distractions, time is moving faster because I never seem to slow down. Perhaps the adage "time flies when you are having fun" is part of the reason for the faster clock in my mind. I seem to always be on the move and perhaps that contributes to my perception that time is moving faster. Any insights?
it isn't anything unique about today.. this is universal and has always been so.
Everyone knows the brain changes as you age. A young person is supposed to learn how to become a useful member of their civilization. So they have excellent memory.
As you age you don't have so much to learn and your memory skills fade a lot.
And I mean think about it...your experience of time will be much different if you forget everything.
