They say that new instruments create new sciences - that the development of telescopes created the modern science of astronomy or that better microscopes lead to the development of germ theory - and I think the same is true of the social sciences.

Cybernetics gets into this there is the technology and then the suite of ideas nessisary to use it. Either one could come first and imply the other. So don't just think about in the tech to ideas direction.

Reason can look at the gestalt, rationality has to go piece by piece.
