Technicalization makes information processing automatic, bypassing extensive meaning considerations.

Evidence

In borderline cases technique takes the form of making the processing of information automatic and calculable, of operating with idealized entities without at the same time having to consider their extensive meaningful implications. Technicalization enables the selective processing of very complex situations and thereby the reorganizing of those possibilities which remain compatible with the limits of consciousness and the status of the world as lifeworld. — Niklas Luhmann, Trust and Power, 724
