The concept of time has always been anything from a blink to a life-time. But the Internet's technology has brought time into being the very now of something which keeps going for us.

It has wrapped it's web like the very capillaries around the global brains, and kept the blood flowing in the light of it's operatives. Like a living organism, if our employment is within this network, it still keeps ticking away, even while we sleep, and is there when our eyes open, with more work ready done.

It's a full time, all time, occupation without minutes, hours nor days, to clock in or out at out fingertips. No transport required to reach the boss - ourselves - as to when we log on. It carries instantaneous news, business letters, all communications required as easily as we click the key.

Time opens up the windows of being able to see and speak within meetings, between companies, or even personal face to face values on each others screen, in the instantaneous light of the Internet's Web. The days of yesteryear's waiting time are history, and time now is only an agreement between avenues, and but a moment apart.

The time it has taken the Internet to open up almost every conceivable subject matter is a staggering flash of earth's scientific age. Bringing light years into the speed of now through it's satellites and cables, if we consider telegrams were even in use in the 1970's. In essence, it brings the past to us, and leaves us floating somewhere between the future of keeping up to date.

The Internet has done one thing which time has never done before in the real sense of the word. Time costs. Admittedly one could say that about employment, but the price of having the internet on, is one thing. Where we are in the world, can be quite another. Due to problems with electricity - and the times it may be allocated at seasonal points in such places - Time is valuable to any who need, or use the Internet.

An example of this is countries where the timing of downloading anything, uses valuable time, money-wise, before it can be truly received. If the internet is slow, it can cost up to $7 per minute to download even some family photos. If it took 2-3 minutes to do so, that, is costly. Thus the statement, Time costs.

But like everything we become spoiled, accustomed to wrapping our lives around and adapting to new values in time. The Internet has opened the world to almost everyone just by being there. Quicker than any plane can give flight to. Contact in our now Cosmic Time has become an everyday value of instant key fingertip standards.

'On line' has become new friends we've never met, knowledge we didn't have, time we never thought possible. Until we made ourselves a part of the billions of capillary action in the light of the Web's Internet highway, the closest thing to this was a 'hello' on the telephone. Or to wait for the post to arrive.

Time has no measure, except when we are cut off to melt down in the overload of what energy is required. Only then, we are lost in counting the minutes or hours again, before we are back on the Internet. When... is the only measurement within this thought of time left, if we must now wait.

In essence, the Internet has changed the concept of time for-ever, and we will never be the same without it, so long as we remain a part of it's global brain.
