Preferred term

time-space compression  

Definition

  • If geography is largely concerned with how human beings are differentially located over the Earth's surface, a vital part of that process is how we know and feel about space and time. Although space and time appear as “natural” and outside of society, they are in fact social constructions; every society develops different ways of dealing with and perceiving them.
