Restructuring communication in science and technology: A PSYCHOM ´72 paper

This paper demonstrates that the need for better communication in science and technology is part of a larger collective need for communication systems in every area of man´s endeavors and developments. Second, due to the nature of knowledge, an argument is made for the necessity of a “superstructure” capable of structuring knowledge in a way analogous to man´s facility of understanding. Communication in science and technology is then seen as the ongoing internal maturation of the mosaic of the superstructure which then serves us as a powerful tool for communicating, applying, and furthering knowledge. The conclusion is that the necessary superstructure is attainable only through a collective development which would not only satisfy the communication needs of this group, but of every group in need of better communication systems.
