Every Taco Bell, McDonald's (MCD), Wendy's (WEN), and Burger King is a little factory, with a manager who oversees three dozen workers, devises schedules and shifts, keeps track of inventory and the supply chain, supervises an assembly line churning out a quality-controlled, high-volume product, and takes in revenue of $1 million to $3 million a year, all with customers who show up at the front end of the factory at all hours of the day to buy the product.

If traders are located 100 miles away from an exchange, they face a delay of one millisecond whenever they seek to trade a price via their computer screen. Few serious investors can afford to be that late to prices that flash so quickly. The blink of a human eye takes 300 milliseconds; many traders now operate in the smaller realm of microseconds.

En aquel Imperio, el arte de la Cartografía logró tal perfección que el Mapa de una sola Provincia ocupaba toda una Ciudad, y el Mapa del Imperio, toda una Provincia. Con el tiempo, estos mapas desmesurados no satisficieron y los Colegios de Cartógrafos levantaron un mapa del Imperio, que tenía el tamaño del Imperio y coincidía puntualmente con él. Menos adictas al estudio de la cartografía, las generaciones siguientes entendieron que ese dilatado Mapa era Inútil y no sin impiedad lo entregaron a las inclemencias del Sol y los inviernos. En los desiertos del oeste perduran despedazadas ruinas del mapa, habitadas por animales y por mendigos; en todo el país no hay otra reliquia de las disciplinas geográficas.
