Abstract: <span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(33,33,33)">From the power grid to the stock market to the latest iOS, complex systems are plagued by unintended glitches, unpredictable behavior, and unexplainable system failures. Why can’t we make things simpler?
Is technological complexity inevitable? And how are we supposed to deal with technology that nobody can understand anymore? This talk explores the forces that lead us to continue to make systems more complicated and more incomprehensible, despite our desire
for them to be more coherent. A framework for thinking about and handling these complex systems is provided, which involves numerous approaches, including importing ideas from biology and philosophy into the realm of technology, as well as how to rekindle
generalists in the face of ever-increasing specialization.</span></div>
