[Air-l] The internet and time

[Frank Thomas]

I would be interested whether Virilio's theories written in 1995 have 
been confirmed by empirical research. Do you have any ideas about that ?

It would also be interesting to confront today's ideas about the 
acceleration of time due to the Internet to the same theories made when 
the telegraph or the telephone were introduced. See Ithiel de Sola Pool 
for his retrospective forecasting of the changes introduced by the 
telephone. Sometimes you get funny effects when you replace the term of 
telephone by Internet. A sort of déjà vu.

Regards,
F. Thomas
