'The always present experiencing of all
calculably possible futures (let us call this the
state of management) is a very different imagi-
native framework from the orthographic imag-
ination, whose mediatechnics demanded that
it use a record of past experiences to contem-
plate the future (this was the state of history). If
orthographic media established a perceptible
delay between lived life and its representation-in
the labor time required to both produce (write,
draw) and consume (read) the historical record-
electronic media appear to have eliminated that
temporal separation by rooting themselves in the
instantaneity of the image. This apparent elimi-
nation lies at the heart of the logic of real time,
which by its very name suggests its equivalence
with the time of lived experience.' - page 34
