Space and design in time

The book I'm reading for class called Networked: The New Social Operating System, talks a little about the shift in modern day philosophy from Aristotle's view to the current emerging understanding. As I can tell, Aristotle's claim is that individuals have certain universal types, properties, and relationships that are common only to their perceived instance. Basically saying you are here and then you are gone. What we are starting to understand now is that life is more than that. Complex ecosystems exist and individuals can be many different things to many different people. "One visible example of this shift has been in modern art since Picasso, where the same objects are simultaneously shown in multiple perspectives." (Rainie 2014) I can see this in my life when certain people use to me for advice, conversation, or just to listen. They need me to be a particular "me" that matches their need. How many hats do you wear? As the depth of understanding deepens we are asked to evolve with the ever changing world we live in. "Astronomers even describe the solar system less rigidly now: instead of 9 planets primly circling the Sun, they have demoted Pluto to a panetoid and discovered that other pieces swoop in and out of the system. They  even define the universe itself rationally, linking perhaps to other multiverses." (Rainie 2014) As on view gives way to another the transition of time is hardly seen until you look back at just how far you've come. Because in the moment it seems things are at a standstill. And the future looks so far away.
