From Thomas Faulkner
Reading the discussion of game transfer phenomena (24/31 December 2011, p 76), in which player responses in video games can spill into real life, I must mention what I call the Sky+ effect. (Sky+ is a service in the UK that allows you to instantly rewind live TV using a hard-disc-based personal video recorder.)
One day I saw out of the corner of my eye something move past the window, but I was not quick enough to see what it was. Without thinking, I picked up my Sky+ remote and tried to rewind time.
