this relates specifically to the idea of a culture of repetition. (see Fink and Attali)

As mediatised culture creates a system for circulating representations of experience, and indeed, our internal representations of experience become symbolically mediatised, so too our experience of time is in effect submitted to a constant demand for synchronisation. The desynchronised nature of the net allows some freedom from this, in that for instance, news is no longer restricted to a specific time of day. Schafer and Truax speak of this also, especially Truax, in their discussion of radio programming. Similarly, the length of music over time has been reduced to fit more easily machine processable in a progression from symphony to pop song (straying from known ground here as its quite possible that pop is traceable from folk music forms).
