Our sense of being able to control time instantaneously
has been amplified, but consequently our valuation of the notion of temporal
development has been reduced. . . . And while our capacity to roam in cognitive
space and to understand our relations to others
and to our artifacts as non-linear, reversible,
and non-hierarchical has been greatly amplified, our valuation of our physical
embodiment and embeddedness in the world has been greatly reduced.
