Speed Speed marks the growth of telematic nets and their impact on social organization with three main attentions. First, it produces time compression and distances erosion. Under this point of view, telematic nets represents both a resolute leap and an inversion in the history of communication technologies. As a matter of fact, until now, the pulling down of distances has always passed through the progressing rise of speed: a horse is faster than a walking man, a car is faster than a horse, a plane is faster than vehicles running on the ground.
The main consequence is represented by the origin of new connections point-to-point within the world-system, as properly explained by Mattelart (1996, p. 9): Progressively extending circulation possibilities, linked both to people and material and symbolic goods, mass media has increased the inclusion of specific societies within wider groups, continuously moving physical, intellectual, and mental borders. This remark is very interesting and allows us to understand some ideas. First of all, being connected, or the need to be connected, is not only a fact or a strategic choice within companies, but an effect of technologi- cal development.
If the NASDAQ grows, to which extent it depends on the strength of informatics companies or on the faith bouncing from specific reviews and the ideas of opinion makers? The dependence on market mood is an old stock market law, but referring to information society and new economy it gains a new interesting meaning: it becomes the specular image of a society that is exactly made out of information. Here lies the meaning of what we underlined at the beginning of the paragraph. During our analysis this aspect will be underlined applying the category of the symbolic.
