thoughts on the acceleration of time (cont’d)
Published at 9:25 am on February 26th, 2008 in Uncategorizedana, you’re awesome. anyone who found the previous post on this topic remotely interesting needs to go and read the comment that she left. here is a quick excerpt that i would like to build on:
if you’ve got posts that are closer together you can gather more data faster, you can get and idea of how fast you’re moving sooner.
thats exactly what i was missing when i started to think about how technology ties in: “gathering data”.
we are in the information age, speeding towards the singularity. the amount of data in our lives as a technology & information driven culture is increasing at an exponential rate. and there you have it: the more data you have to process the faster time seems to go by as you sift though it all.
now if only i could make my brain go faster so i can actually get through it all…
I am awesome Pat. I really really am.
