Reductionism

Technology lets us zoom in to subatomic levels, giving more and more details to measure about smaller and smaller fragments of experience. Yet there will always be more scattering calculations to analyze with ever more sophisticated technologies. Driven by tradition and a thought process that science and business have been using since the time of Newton, reductionism has not prepared our brains to deal with the quantity of data that now bombards us. Information is liquid, existing everywhere in real time. It will take new perceptual skills, a different system of thought, to create new methods to manage the volume of information that technology makes available.
