Dr Rebecca Struthers was recently invited onto Amanda Vanstone’s ABC Radio National show ‘Counterpoint’ to discuss how we learned to keep track of time.
Counterpoint examines a range of social, economic and cultural issues in Australian life — challenging some widely held assumptions, and introducing some new and some seldom-heard commentators.
In this episode, Rebecca takes listeners back to 1300 BC through to now where we can pay for our coffee via our phone to explain the history of telling time.
You can listen online here with Rebecca’s segment starting at around 31 minutes.
