3) as noting that real time is lauded as ‘a world in which time seems to vanish and space seems completely malleable’. ‘Real’ time paradoxically is no time. Yet again, the power of technology overwhelms human capacity: computers can think and act more quickly, more effectively and more comprehensively. Instantaneity challenges not only our experience of the present but disrupts and undermines the past, since the past recedes ever more quickly into a black hole of vanished memories as the future rushes headlong to meet us in an onslaught of the new and the unexpected.

Hence in the absence of recall and reflection, the non-remembered remains ‘socially immortal’ (Sievers 2009, p. 33). Organizational future tends to conceal a longing for infiniteness, immortality. These strivings in turn encode fears of death and annihilation and contribute to the illusion that death can and should be conquered. 24 The wider context The collapse of time is further reinforced by the factor of obsolescence, which is so much a consequence of the speed of change. This happens particularly in the world of material goods, technological and otherwise, in which the proliferation of the new, new models, new systems, new processes, eclipses the old in an unstoppable frenzy.

Turkle, amongst others, comments on the ambivalence about human intimacy implied in the rush to technological connectedness. Technology appeals through the alternatives it provides to human vulnerability. Ensconced in a networked life, we can hide from the demands of others and the challenges of intimacy. The satisfactions of wider connectedness supplant the riskier pleasures of face-to-face, body-to-body contact. If the ‘ordinary’ verbal communication that underlies all our personal and social relationships, that through symbol and language has mediated the social world for millennia, remains difficult because of the anxiety and ambiguity associated with such communication, the computer offers us compelling alternatives.
