Do people feel that each year is shorter than the previous?
In theory, a fixed unit of time feels shorter and shorter as a human's life becomes longer. For example, a twelve year old can't remember ten years ago, while a 20 year old can. Do others notice this?

Yes if you lead a predictable life time will seem like it is passing faster. Thats why i follow the same routine every day...

I'm . . uh . . probably older than you. I don't notice that time is shorter. An hour is still an hour, a day is still a day (a kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is still a sigh).
But I do notice that looking back, times that were long ago seem not so long ago. 2000 seems like last year. The Reagan era seems like two presidents ago, not five presidents.
You certainly don't expect a twelve-year-old to remember ten years ago, and I don't remember when I was two either. But I remember stuff from when I was ten, I think as well as I remembered it when I was fifteen!
