The Scientific Way of Warfare: Order and Chaos on the Battlefields of Modernity
TL;DR: In this paper, Bousquet explores the relative benefits (such as a unique chain of command to safeguard the use of nuclear weapons) and decentralizing military affairs, and then follows with specific scientific approaches to war: mechanistic, thermodynamic, cybernetic, and "chaoplexic," a network-centric theory allied with the non-linear sciences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Against Teleology in the Study of Race: Toward the Abolition of the Progress Paradigm:
Louise Seamster,Victor Ray +1 more
TL;DR: The authors argue that claims of racial progress rest upon untenable teleological assumptions founded in Enlightenment discourse, and examine the theoretical and methodological focus on progress and its histogram of progress and racism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time and the Internet at the Turn of the Millennium
Heejin Lee,Jonathan Liebenau +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors take a view informed by research on six dimensions of temporality which govern organizational practices to show how the Internet can be understood in terms of temporal behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time and information technology: temporal impacts on individuals, organizations, and society
Heejin Lee,Edgar A. Whitley +1 more
TL;DR: Modern information technology is compared with the mechanical clocks of the 17th and 18th centuries and temporal impacts of information technology at three levels (individual, organizational, social) as well as broader, theoretical issues.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Time and time again: parallels in the development of the watch and the wearable computer
TL;DR: The lessons for wearable computing are that the physical wearability will be determined as much by fashion as by human anatomy, that the user interface will gradually become simplified as people become more acquainted with computers, and finally that the cultural impact will be a broadening of the definition of information, a rationalization of representing information, and an increasing synchronization of personal events.
