In other cultures, time plays at a different pace, or seems unpaced, emerging like smoke from events, as opposed to being the metronome driving us forward.
A lovely metaphor and contrast to describe the culturally constructed notions of time. Like most everything else that we simply take for granted, time is also a cultural "artifact.
Questioning some of our most basic notions and assumptions seems to me to be one of our biggest tasks and challenges as we head to a post digital world. This includes how we think of consumers and consumption, producers and consumers of content, friends and community, and, of course, offline and online.
I love this quote, Culture is what remains after we’ve forgotten everything we’ve read. If that is true, post digital culture is demanding that we forget, and unlearn quite a bit.

If I speak in the Cheap Authentic NFL Jerseys tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all Official NFL Jerseys knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my USA Jerseys Shop body to the flames,but have not love, I gain nothing.Love is patient, NFL Jerseys love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it NHL Jerseys keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always MLB Jerseys hopes, always perseveres.Love never NHL Hockey Jerseys fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in MLB Baseball Jerseys part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappea. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became NBA Basketball Jerseys man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.And now these three remain: faith, hope and NFL Football Jerseys love. But the greatest of these is love. http://www.jersey-usa.com/sitemap.html YQ
