After 2500 years of alphabetic and typographic culture, it is not easy for us to adjust suddenly to the non-visual, inner space of the interval and to the ferment of the "interface".
To make the transition from the "outer trip" of the visually-oriented man to the "innertrip" of the audile-tactile world, is to shift from West to East.
"Backward" and non-literate cultures and individuals take readily to non-visual or electric technology, which is the world of the new quantum mechanics or of the resonating chemical bond.
