Original Message Why time is speeding up

Technology as a tool has sped up time...

Technology is an extension of our mental selves, because of technology we are able to travel faster, communicate differently

Technology as an extension of our mental selves, changes our mental selves - alters - extends our perception of, just as an ax would be a physical tool to effect our physical environment

Technology closes the distance between two points in time and space

Cellphones - everyone is carrying around a wormhole in their pocket

Technology has compressed time & space:

Example 100,000 years ago if someone was on the other side of the planet they were really far away, but now we can wisper something on one side of the planet and b heard on the other side instantly.
