In the essay Telegram From Nowhere, Mckenzie Wark discusses the issues of globalization and how it is effecting the privacy of individuals. She begins by defining globalization as "the struggle between metropolitan centers to distort the growth of contact between people to benefit themselves." Essentially history is the progress of globalization. History is about space, not time. Wark goes on to assert that the only thing that has chnaged over time is the speed of globalization. She notes the invention of the telegraph as the single most important communication revolution. Since then, information has traveled faster than humans, goods or armies. The telegraph marks the beginning of the end so to speak.

It marked the end of architecture in the classic sense that building are used for enclosure--a boundary in which things can be rationally ordered. Today, with so much information travleing in and out of the home, office, etc., it is impossible to monitor all of it. Architetcure is no longer about privacy. It simply holds ones personal posessions and keep you dry from the rain.

So how can this information be controlled? Telethesia, or "perception at a distance," makes possible, reason without enclosure. It enables the monitoring of movement, and things while they move. In a sense, Wark says, "the communication engineers have become the architects."
