The Illusion of Internet Speed
The term “Internet time” became so hackneyed so quickly that it virtually died out. A quick search on Google News suggests that an entire month — surely at least a couple of years worth of that Internet time — can pass without seeing the phrase in the press. Perhaps that is because the drive for speed has become such an assumption that it barely needs saying. But the desire to move ever faster makes the mistake that the tools which are supposed to move things quickly actually do. And often they don’t.
