There is no unitary, somehow natural time which partners in communication could presuppose as self-evident. Rather they must onerously inform one another about their respective local times and adjust for the differences if they want to meet on the Net. The horizons of time are in constant motion. Until now I have gone into the changes relevant not primarily to the World Wide Web, but to text-based Internet services such as IRC, MUDs and MOOs. I shall now concentrate on the specific features of the World Wide Web.
Every receiver is a potential transmitter.
This already holds for traditional text-based services like IRC, MUDs and MOOs. The World Wide Web's specificity consists in that these systems' simple interactivity is decisively enhanced and fashioned by the World Wide Web's graphical interface. Of course it's possible to create pages for each of the varying real and virtual roles which you play within and without the Net. These can be intertwined with one another through hyperlinks. In the same way networked links can be made with the Web pages of cybernaut friends and with every other data provider to be found on the Net.
