Technology has twisted our relationship with time beyond recognition. What started as a 24-hour news cycle has morphed into a perpetual now, relentlessly grinding away at our civility. Humans are evolving our first new sense as cyborgs, chronoception. Just as real as sight, taste, touch, sound, and smell, this new visceral time sense is abruptly stunting our ability to communicate with each other. We prefer to talk to humans on the phone and machines in real life. Time stripped away from physical objects, systems, and cultural celebrations. 24-hour breakfast at McDonald's, binge watching entire seasons of television, vaping, Black Friday that starts on Wednesday or release dates that start at midnight, everything is earlier and faster. In this mind-bending session, we will explore the tools, procedures to shift and change our perception of time using technology. Audiences will learn how to use software, hardware, and services to reshape and slow down their perception of time and start to live more harmonious with their technology.
