Not only is it relative, but that people are realizing it doesn't matter anymore. I don't think time is speeding up as much as people are understanding that our relationship to time is unneeded and burdensome. Hence our experiences are 'quickening'. We are having more fun, being in the moment, enjoying what we do, learning from our catalyst. This is how time is sped up exponentially, until we realize there is no 'time' to be in, there is only being, and states of being.
I understand your statement that technology has sped up the way we communicate, travel and interact, but this still does not speed up our 'experience' of such things. If you are waiting and a loved one is in the hospital; your not sure if they're going to die or not. That is going to be the longest wait for a phone call you can imagine.
Our experience as such is the important factor here to understand in relation to time, not the technological processes which determine the nature of our interactions.
So is time speeding up, or slowing down? It's not objective. It's marker to tell us how we are experiencing, i.e. utilizing catalyst.
