Postmodern thinking may be derived from cybernetics and systems theory, where ideas of hybridity between technological and social thinking are common. Views on the merging of technologies and institutions thus to some extent rely on reflexivity. One consequence has been hopes for emancipation through new technologies such as computers for communication and information management leading to visions of closer links between technologies, institutions and individuals. These visions have resulted in postmodern experiences of increased heterogeneity as well as a reaction to modernity, for instance, in terms of social acceleration and fractalization.
