Document Summary
Pg 58 > a moment is an atom of time. Pg 58 > every time you look, the now has gone. But it has to be there because, if the past has gone and the future isn"t yet, the now is the only part of time that"s real. Yet we can"t put our finger on it. The thing that"s most real, the now, escapes us. Pg 59 > the web reminds us the fundamental unit of time isn"t a moment, it"s a story, and the string that holds time together isn"t the mere proximity of moments but our interest in the story. Pg 59 > read it, it"s basically saying that the web makes everything faster. Pg 61 > the shape of instant messaging is determined by how it exists in time, and not just because im requires the two conversants to be online at the same time. Pg 64 > real world space is hard to move around in.
