Why that animosity?
I referred to a simple fact, that is that societies change and cultures change due to trends dictated by chnaging needs and circumstances. In the medieval, the perception of time and "workflow" was different than in the industrialization. The industrial environment needs a very different time management, needs synchronized tacts and intervals, and therefore, timetables and the "tyranny"
of clocks was the logical consequence. Nobody in the medieval worked shifts of 9 hours length from exactly 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., instead one went with the daylight and the seasons, and the day-by-day changing needs. A travel was not timed for exact duration and ETAs, but it lasted as long as it lasted, and the length was estimated on the grounds of earlier experiences.
Today we must live by rules and timing intervals, by contexts and interfaces that are dictated by for example computers. The machine demands you to enter data and your demands in a certain formalized way, else it will not "comprehend" what you want it to do with it, or it will not even accept your input of data. These contexts feed back on your own way of working, and communicating, and finally: your thinking. We think differently today, than we did in the pre-computer age. We have made certain "anarchistic freedoms" in our way of being creative almost unthinkable.
Don't interpret something into my original post or into the BBC text that actually is not being said there.
