“In the past, important information was painstakingly processed and stored in books, which were stored in buildings known as libraries. Whole societies, universities, were built in their vicinity because of how hard it was to access that archive of knowledge. Now we have the opposite problem: there is more information and more data about the world at hand than we can possibly handle. Upon querying the world, we need a summary of a summary of the answer before we can make sense of it. As a result, we turn to interpretive prosthetics like data visualization and statistics. This is, however, a “new normal” shift on which our knowledge institutions and economies are choking.“
