Rituals give us a different experience of time—a non-linear feeling of coming home.

The folded page moments we experience when coming home to a good friend, a familiar place, or a meaningful activity. When it’s like no time has passed between visits. The timeline folds in on itself, and this moment becomes all moments. The past becomes the present.

In The Disappearance of Ritual, Byung-Chul Han writes, “today, time lacks a solid structure. It is not a house but an erratic stream.

I just finished watching this Frontline documentary titled digital_nation: life on the virtual frontier and I wanted to lob it your way because it explores and is informed by many of the assumptions we've been exploring in Unit One: the digital divide between generations, hyper and deep attention, the (in)effectiveness of multi-tasking, the effects of being "always on," of being always connected. If you're inclined you can watch the whole video online at PBS.org or, of course, on YouTube. I'm not requiring it, but I will recommend it. Do with my recommendation what you will... *nudge nudge*
