The fall or scrapping of a cultural world puts us all into the same archetypal cesspool, engendering nostalgia for earlier conditions Picture Quote #1

Medieval and ancient sensibility now dominates our time as acoustic and multisensory awareness displaces the merely visual Picture Quote #1

Any understanding of social and cultural change is impossible without a knowledge of the way media work as environments Picture Quote #1

For tribal man space was the uncontrollable mystery. For technological man it is time that occupies the same role Picture Quote #1

Ideally, advertising aims at the goal of a programmed harmony among all human impulses and aspirations and endeavors. Using handicraft methods, it stretches out toward the ultimate electronic goal of a collective consciousness Picture Quote #1
