When the concept of time was invented (even the ancient sun dials), the world was oficially put on the clock. We began to see the everything within the context of how long a year, month, day, etc is. No matter how fast the internet becomes it will not supercede the boundries of time that have been invented by the clock. The internet will allow us to research information faster, easier, and for all intensive purposes better. I think the internet helps us to be more productive with the time that we have, rather than making this time faster or more comprehensive.

On the computer, videogames, and the like, what is new is that sense of shock we sometimes experience because we have become so thoroughly absorbed that we have absolutely no sense of time's passage.Lance Stratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13033954765699126246noreply@blogger.com
