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 beatrice bittarello wrote:
Hi Abi,
This article by Mark Nunes focuses on time, space and the Internet. He draws upon both Virilio and Baudrillard.

Quoting Sarah Robbins :
Abigail: "Time" in what respect? perceptions of passing time? immediacy? please explain. Sarah
