Time at the Moment | Antón Barba-Kay

Benedictine College's Center for Constitutional Liberty and Center for Technology and Human Dignity welcome Dr. Antón Barba-Kay for an engaging lecture on "Time at the Moment." Antón Barba-Kay, author of A Web of Our Own Making: The Nature of Digital Formation, examines how digital life reshapes our experience of time and self-understanding. We live in an age of hyper-awareness of generational differences. Digital technology accelerates our sense of time in a way that both undermines traditional age categories (like “child” or “elder”) and hypes up differences between new ones (like “Gen Alpha” and “Boomer”). One’s age matters less than ever—everyone is the same age online—putting pressure on longstanding ways of establishing adult authority. Yet the divergences between an average Boomer and a Gen Zer may be the largest ever expressed within one human lifespan. What are the consequences of this disorienting acceleration? What does it teach us about the nature of time itself—and how might we take our time again?
