The Relative Speed of life, Cuban blogger Yoani Sánchez

While you travel at the frantic pace of DSL and cable Internet, I move at the speed of the bus that connects to La Víbora at Línea and G. Each post depends on a countless chain of events that normally don’t go well. From my isolated PC to a flash memory and then to the public space of a cybercafé or a hotel. For this, without detailing all the complications, the elevator does not work, the gatekeeper asks me to show my passport to sit at the computer, or there are frustrations to sign on, plus the slow-speeds imposed by proxies, filters and keylogger.
