with computers and electric programming, the means of 
storing and moving information become less and less visual 
and mechanical, while increasingly integral and organic. The 
total field created by the instantaneous electric forms cannot 
be visualized any more than the velocities of electronic particles 
can be visualized. The instantaneous creates an interplay 
among time and space and human occupations, for which the 
older forms of currency exchange become increasingly 
inadequate. A modern physicist who attempted to employ 
visual models of perception in organizing atomic data would 
not be able to get anywhere near the nature of his problems. 
Both time (as measured visually and segmentally) and space 
(as uniform, pictorial, and enclosed) disappear in the electronic 
age of instant information. In the age of instant information 
man ends his job of fragmented specializing and assumes the 
role of  information gathering. Today information-gathering
