Neuware -We are living in the Age of Interruption; modern technology is changing our forms of attention, everyday life is subject to more disruption than ever before. As the pattern of our lives changes so dramatically so too does our sense of continuity and tradition.

Interruption has become part of the new order of our lives, both a threat and a promise.
