TIME
-"We're not even close to getting there"-- maddening idea of holding on to the "Now"-- every moment the "Now" is gone (Spaceballs in class)
-stubborness of people to stick to sequential time, whereas on the Web, time is not sequential, it is just moments.
-is time faster or slower on the web? (7X multiplier theory) whatever you want it to be? you create time just as you create space
-DMV line example: online you get kicked off you can't lose your spot, and on the web you can come back to it at any time that is CONVENIENT FOR YOU
-"threads"-chatroom example of a 60 second chatrrom conversation, only can be followed if you understand it but definitely stretches out time
-comparison of the short explanation on a hard day in teh real world versus a day spent online-so much more done in time because so many things can go on at the same time
-Heraclitus... can't put your foot in the same river twice and everything is always in flux (the fleeting idea of "Now")
