@slarson14, Your comments remind me of something I think of more and more as I age. I've found myself recalling the early years of our marriage. How simple life was. We had a handful of bills and we usually had to go to a store to buy something. I was 21 and my wife was 20. We had a small house with a $70 a month mortgage. The phone bill had long distance charges and the phone would be wired to the wall for several decades. Did time go as fast then?
Then the children came and we were fortunate they didn't have social media. Then they had kids. My father unexpectedly died and I retired and the internet came along. No more wired phones and things come from delivery vans. Did time speed up then?
I had many health issues, a couple life threatening with lengthy recoveries. My mother requires quite a bit of our time. I use an Amazon AI to get answers to questions like how old was an actor in a movie I'm watching. I'm pretty sure time is moving a lot faster than when we got married. What's really sped it up is the weather. I froze my ass off last winter. Not in the house because I've graduated to a very warm 74-75 degrees. I dread next winter so I'm certain that alone will speed up the nice weather ahead. So yes, time speeds up as we feel it and all the electronic stuff just made us have to do more crap, like write about it here instead of reading a book.
