Choose two of the assigned reading above and explain why and how the internet has influenced or changed our perception of time. For example, very few people wear watches anymore. The internet makes everything much faster, therefore we are expected to respond to texts immediately, no matter what else we are doing. The deluge of work email might continue to pile up long after you have gone home for the night. Even the necessity of working with team members in other time zones has an effect on our working lives. Any of these might be fruitful themes for discussion, but you are encouraged to come up with your own topic/thesis statement on the issue of time and digital technologies.
