the twin phenomena ‘immediacy’ and ‘instantaneity’
‘the primacy of real time, of immediacy, over and above space and surface is a fait accompli and ushers a new epoch’
21st century in connection with the absolute speed, is the ‘invention of a perspective of real time, that will supersede the perspective of real space’
the cyberspace did not yet encompass: ‘that of contact, of contact-at-a-distance: tele-contact’
‘A Fundamental Loss of Orientation’ /‘to exist, is to exist in situ, here and now, hic et nunc’ - it is being ‘threatened by cyberspace and instantaneous, globalized information flows’
‘disturbance in the perception of what reality is’
‘loss of orientation regarding alterity (the other), this disturbance in the relationship with the other and with the world’
‘there is no such thing as globalization, there is only virtualization’
‘instantaneity-everything now happens within the perspective of real time: henceforth we are deemed to live in a “one-time-system”’
‘if history is so rich, it is because it was local, it was thanks to the existence of spatially bounded times’
‘real time superseding real space’
“glocal”- local+global : local has become global, and the global has become local
‘such a deconstruction of the relationship with the world is not without consequences for the relationship among the citizens themselves’/ ‘nothing is ever obtained without a loss of something else’
‘no information exists without dis-information’->‘choking of the senses’
