Time Flies?
Popular wisdom holds that time goes faster when you’re older. However, a new study (summary here) by William Friedman and?Steve Janssen doesn’t quite support the maxim. They surveyed college students and older adults: “Respondents of all ages reported that time seems to pass quickly. In contrast to widely held beliefs, age differences in reports of the subjective speed of time were very small, except for the question about how fast the last 10?years had passed.” Readers, what do you think? Does time pass faster as you climb the age ladder? If so, what might be the reasons? Let’s hear from older readers in particular. [%comments]
