Question

Ａｓ we getting older, we feel the time flies getting faster and faster. Ｗｈｙ ?

Answer 1

You feel coz there must be some left undid

There must be somthing you have not experienced (at certain age)

There may things to do but time is not enough

you feel coz there must be young people around you.

But thats nothign to do. just do things in your own style.

Answer 2

I know what you mean. When you’re two years old and you have to wait one month for something, it seems like forever. However, as we get older, one month seems to not be a long time at all.

I think it’s because when we’re two years old one month is a pretty big chunk of our life. A two year old has only lived for 24 months, so waiting a month for something is like waiting for 1/24 of your life.

A ten year old has lived for 120 months. A month is only 1/120 of his life, so a month doesn’t seem like nearly as long to him.

Answer 3

because we get busier, & have more things to do

Answer 4

I would look at it in percentages. Visualize a pie chart. When you are 8 years old, a year is one eighth of your life. When you're 50, it's only one fiftieth. You have the perspective of having been through so many more of them than when you were younger.

You also have a better perspective of how long it takes to do things before the clock runs out (so to speak). A larger appreciation of time in general and how short life can really be.  

Answer 5

its a lie. it just feels faster because we are losing memory.  

Answer 6

Because there's less time ahead of us, than there is behind us. I agree with you, I'm 54 and time seems to go by much faster now.
