Urgency transfers from networked systems to live ones

observation — attributed to David Landgraf

Nine years inside the NSA's signals operations center taught Landgraf that some environments do not allow drift. Live events behave the same way. Lights, sound, timing, narrative, and personalities interact simultaneously, and when something breaks it breaks publicly.

"From that experience Landgraf carried away something he still refers to today: a permanent sense of urgency."
