Industrialism

Industrialism implies technology and the cutting of time into precise fragments suited to the needs of the engineer and the accountant.

Harold Innis There are at least two types of organizations in the digital product world: * Those that invoke this industrialism in the form of: "We want to do this, how long would it take?" They focus on functionalities and treat their interlocutors (mainly product and technology) as calculators.

They have transferred to the digital world what already works in other industries ("how long will it take us to renew this sidewalk?").

They are doomed to never find that translation.

• There are others that have been assimilating a kind of new industrialism, and they manifest themselves more in this way: "Okay, we know that all this is very complex, but...

how long would it take?" :D Only the future will tell us whether we will one day find a third type of organization that, recognizing the peculiar nature of the digital as an artifact, gives a Copernican twist - long live Kuhn!

• to the question: how much time would we give this?
