Summary/Abstract: A wide variety of anthropological, cultural and linguistic examples show that humans coming from a stage of timelessness,reaching a higher state of consciousness start to describe and mesure time, although the state of living in a timeless world canbe traced (explicitly or not) both in personal lives of individual human beings and in the life of humanity in itself. Moderntechnology (cellphones, new media etc.) tends to off er a new type of timlessness, which nontheless comes with its ownbiological, social and psychological consequences.
