. . . Americans Are The Best

Americans No Longer Talk To Each Other, They Entertain Each Other. They Do Not Exchange Ideas, They Exchange Images. They Do Not Argue With Propositions; They Argue With Good Looks, Celebrities And Comercials.

Embedded In Every Technology There Is A Powerful Idea, Sometimes Two Or Three Powerful Ideas. Like Language Itself, A Technology Predisposes Us To Favor And Value Certain Perspectives And Accomplishments And To Subordinate Others. Every Technology Has A Philosophy, Which Is Given Expression In How The Technology Makes People Use Their Minds, In How It Codifies The World, In Which Of Our Senses It Amplifies, In Which Of Our Emotional And Intellectual Tendencies It Disregards.

We Can Make The Trains Run On Time But If They Are Not Going Where We Want Them To Go, Why Bother?

You Cannot Avoid Making Judgements But You Can Become More Conscious Of The Way In Which You Make Them. This Is Critically Important Because Once We Judge Someone Or Something We Tend To Stop Thinking About Them Or It.

Nothing Could Be More Misleading Than The Idea That Computer Technology Introduced The Age Of Information. The Printing Press Began That Age, And We Have Not Been Free Of It Since.
