Information is the raw material as well as the outcome. The new technologies act on information rather than on matter. Because information is an integral part of all human activity, these technologies are pervasive. Information technologies foster a networking logic, because it allows one to deal with complexity and unpredictability, which in itself is increased by these technologies. The networking logic is based on flexibility.
Specific technologies converge into highly integrated systems.

I don't know what to make of this God of Science. He seems to be a god of two faces.

I am torn by a tempest cast by his hand.
