The Medium is the Message

I loved a quote that came across my Google homepage this week. It’s from Clive Barnes, a critic at the New York Post, about television:

“It is the first truly democratic culture, the first culture available to everyone and entirely governed by what the people want. The most terrifying thing is what people do want.”

And watching a wall of TVs today, sound muted, showing CNN, Fox News, Headline News and MSNBC, it’s tough not to agree with that.
