- Abstract
- The language and contents of the mass communications industry, and the products produced through and for commerical computerized information systems and networks, may appeal to relatively undeveloped aspects of our intellectual and spiritual faculties and could degrade rationalism and thus jeopardize the production of scientific knowledge. In particular, recent decades have seen a shift away from conceptual linguistic symbolism, historically used for scientific research and communication, to iconic symbolism and visual language, which may be poorly suited to scientific thought. Discusses the relationship between complex computing and telecommunications and both the content and the vehicles of learning and scientific research for the 21st century
