I think of it differently. When we're young everything is new to us. We focus on much more detail. As we get older more things are familiar, thus we pass them by without much thought. If you don't constantly submerge yourself in new experiences, your life will fly by faster and faster as you focus on less and less. When something is familiar enough, you don't need to be as conscious of it. Soon your consciousness won't matter since you do everything without need of thought.

Exactly! The last 6 years of my life has been spent traveling the world, becoming and expert at telecommunications, and then teaching others using that knowledge. I can honestly say they last 6 years seems like much longer than the 6 years prior to it, since I have been immersed in learning and experiencing new things!
