On page 233 of our book there is a dialogue of Nam Jun Paik, and he referenced an interesting quote about discovering new things. "Yes, it was the midst of so-called material progress and the discovery of new Things...Poincare pointed out that what was being discovered was not new THINGS but merely the new RELATIONSHIPS between things already existing." And I thought it was interesting how he went on to say "we are again in the fin de siecle...this time we are discovering much new software...which are not new things but new thinks...and again we are discovering and even weaving new relationships between many thinks and minds...we are already knee-deep in the post industrial age."
