Back Then, Now, Next... Then Next
Time is a change process. As we spin around
on our globe, whirl around the solar system, bound our way in gigantic circles
around the Milky Way and scream with billions of other galaxies out from the
center of the Universe we should at least come to terms and know one thing from
all of this. What we are now is not what we are now for time has now past
us by. The
theoretical perfection that we are looking for in communication involves context
in transition. As a technical society, we are in the process of moving
from information processing to knowledge processing. This process will
have a profound effect on our perspective of who and what we are. If we
are not prepared there will be huge gaps between those societies that are not
able or not willing to evolve and adapt. The struggle that will inevitably
occur will be far reaching and will affect the ability of the human race to
survive in an ever-increasing hostile environment. We will discover
unknown threats to our survival and will either overcome those threats or perish
forever as civilized society. This is not a warning for we all understand
that no human or government leader is the pilot of this planet. If
we move too fast in Science then we risk our ability to manage what we discover.
If we move too slowly then we risk that we may not have the discoveries when we
as a society are most in need. Right now the floodgates are wide open and
it is hard to judge where we should be. Better
communications theory may allow us to better manage and come to terms within our
World societies. It may allow us as societies to better judge the science
that we want and the technology that we will need.
