Trading screens transform distant markets into interactionally present scenes.

Evidence

We have borrowed the notion of appresentation from Schutz and Luckmann (1973, p. 11) to emphasize that the screen brings that which is geographically distant and invisible near to participants, thus rendering it interactionally present—in other words, response present. It is also important that the idea of global microstructures captures the sociological side of information technologies: global microstructures instantiate technology systems as sequentially and culturally specific social actions performed from a distance. — Karin Knorr Cetina & Urs Bruegger, Global Microstructures, 27
