What's the time? Examining whether technological advances are affecting our temporal judgements

[Extract] Theories of internal clock agree that variations in individual external stimuli may affect our internal representation of time, and this has been shown to hold in lab settings. However, our individual differences, and varying life experiences, and the possible implications for these on temporal experience have not received this same level of attention. Anthropologists/ Ethnographers and Social Psychologists have examined the cultural implications on the representation of time within society (for example Flaherty et al, 2005), yet the possible effects of society on any form of internal clock system remain to be examined in full within the cognitive realm
