Paper Summary:
In this article, the writer analyzes the book 'Amusing Ourselves to Death' by Neil Postman. Further, the writer looks at this book in comparison to Marshall McLuhan and Quentin Fiore's scope of electric technology in 'The Medium is the Massage'.From the Paper:
"Neil Postman's 'Amusing Ourselves to Death' could be said to take up where Marshall McLuhan and Quentin Fiore's 'The Medium is the Massage' left off. In one sense Postman's book narrows the focus from McLuhan and Fiore's broader scope of electric technology, down to one specific aspect of electric technology - the television. In another sense Postman may be said to broaden the ambit of his predecessors, as he substitutes "metaphor" for "message", maintaining that the term "message" is too narrow."More papers on 'Amusing Ourselves to Death':
