Technological developments over the past 25 years have altered our lives. The computer, its graphic user interface (GUI), the internet, mobile telephones have revolutionized work, leisure and communication. How has this effected our sense of time? On one hand new technologies make communication cheaper and more efficient. On the other hand working hours have increased, and the line between work and leisure blurred. New genetics is altering the spee of evolution. Computers function in time spans incomprehensible to us. The market place demands more productivity in shorter periods; while medicine promises to expand our life span. How exactly are these technological advances influencing our sense(s) of time? How have technological changes over the last 25 years changed and influenced our perception of time, how we structure our time, plan our days, and live our lives? Do these changes alter our biology? What are the conflicts between different ‘types of time:’ biological, subjective, objective, social, etc.? What is the contemporary connection between time and space – actual space, virtual space vs. actual time and virtual time?
