Electric Speed has been helping build the Internet since 1999.

Current focus: Knowledge systems that enable people to connect ideas and discover insights into the reasons behind why things are true and how things are interconnected. — James Thornton, Founder

At no period in human culture have men understood the psychic mechanisms involved in invention and technology. Today it is the instant speed of electric information that, for the first time, permits easy recognition of the patterns and the formal contours of change and development. The entire world, past and present, now reveals itself to us like a growing plant in an enormously accelerated movie. Electric speed is synonymous with light and with the understanding of causes. — Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man (1964)
