The illusion of the collapse of time and space in digital communication

ABSTRACT

This article proposes to equate certain aspects of the experience of time and space in digital communication, investigating its convergence and / or divergence from the mythical experience of timelessness. It is concluded that although digital communication seems to dispense with the places and apparently does not establish necessary cause and effect relationships between the information it distributes, its dependence on the succession of events distances it from what would be a mythical experience of time, therefore, of space.

Keywords:
Digital communication; Myth; social networks; Time; space
