We are noticing our information technology

We are requantizing inventory in our entanglement with it:

The way in which people frantically communicate online via Twitter, Facebook and instant messaging can be seen as a form of modern madness, according to a leading American sociologist.
"A behaviour that has become typical may still express the problems that once caused us to see it as pathological," MIT professor Sherry Turkle writes in her new book, Alone Together, which is leading an attack on the information age.
Turkle's book, published in the UK next month, has caused a sensation in America, which is usually more obsessed with the merits of social networking. She appeared last week on Stephen Colbert's late-night comedy show, The Colbert Report. When Turkle said she had been at funerals where people checked their iPhones, Colbert quipped: "We all say goodbye in our own way."
Turkle's thesis is simple: technology is threatening to dominate our lives and make us less human. Under the illusion of allowing us to communicate better, it is actually isolating us from real human interactions in a cyber-reality that is a poor imitation of the real world.

Finally, we discovered that information technology remakes out bounded functions, we are using the Internet to define some new polynomials. What are the new quants? We drop two ranks and take a look. Fundamentally, we preplan inventory adjustments with almost and order of magnitude cut in transaction costs. As in hiring, a very expensive pursuit went from $3500 to $350. Any good is capable of that savings, in proportion.

The new model, purchases are a straight shot preplanned from anywhere to anywhere. I see this at the coffee shop. Sudden appearance of five cars, converging via preplanned social networking. All the kids move like that.

It puts stress on transportation now, but as events happen, we find great efficiencies when the Internet thingies invade the roads. If social networking and online purchases cut costs getting the near perfect quant size and delivery orders, we can minimize just about any variable, especially energy.

The new quant is the street bot, like the internet packet. We should expect an order of magnitude increase in energy efficiency, when we  make the street machines move coherent to the internet.  We had to drop two because transportation is a prime factor.

Consider my example of the young kids converging at the coffee shop. If their vehicles talked to each other and the traffic net, then their collective movement would have been preplanned across the city.  Convoy operations cuts 40% right there.  Increased safety cuts  accident rates. They would naturally go Streetbot mode within the software of the car. Short term car rentals boom, the number of vehicles on the roads drop. Singularity type gains.
