Disappearance, or I've Seen It All Before
The section from Galloway and Thacker (Disappearance, or I've seen It All Before) about technological speed gave me the mental picture of quarterbacks throwing to a spot on the field before the receiver actually gets there. The quaterback is not actually throwing the ball to the receiver but to the point where he is expected to be in the future. With this image in mind while watching the Chiefs stink up the field on Sunday, this AT&T commercial was aired numerous times. I now have the line about putting videos on Facebook stuck in my head, but I think the commercial is good example of technology's speed affecting our realities.
