The temporal displacement or alienation of space, which causes the colonized person to be unable to experience their own time as the now and instead to see that “now” as occurring in another space, is the result of a Eurocentric organization of time in which time is measured by the developments in technological knowledge, the gadget porn of iPods and BlackBerrys, and the languages in which that technological knowledge is developed. Who is developing the latest gadgets? What language do they speak? These questions show us where the “now” resides, and thus, who is “behind.”
