Hmm... Interesting! I have thought the same question from time to time, but
the only logical explaination I was able to come up with (my own, of course,
which is unsubstantiated by any scientific proof) is that as you get older,
you have been alive longer, therefore a time span relative to your life
gets shorter; i.e. when you are 5 years old, 1 year was 20% of your own
memory and experiences, (a relatively large chunk) but when you are 50
that same piece of time is only 2%, which is a relatively short span of your
entire experience
