Digital Time by Alisa Turing

Digital Time explores how digital technology has fundamentally reshaped our perception and management of time, transitioning from mechanical clocks to AI-driven algorithmic scheduling. The book investigates the evolution of timekeeping tools, the psychological impacts of "always-on" culture and digital presentism, and the ethical considerations surrounding AI scheduling, including algorithmic bias and data privacy.

Did you know that our relationship with time has evolved so dramatically that it now affects not only our productivity but also our social interactions and cognitive processes? The book provides historical context, tracing the development of timekeeping and social theories of time. It's structured to offer a comprehensive exploration, starting with fundamental concepts, then delving into the history of digital timekeeping, its psychological impact, and the ethical considerations of AI.

By integrating technological analysis with social and psychological insights, Digital Time offers a balanced assessment of the opportunities and challenges of digital time.
