Well, I think people who are subjected to the 
arrangement of language visually, in lines, highly 
sequential and precise, rigid—develop habits of 
arranging their lives, arranging their whole social 
existence, which are very closely geared to these 
forms. They’re not especially aware of this. Lineality 
though, is not characteristic of radio or television or 
movies. And so we have been subjected to 
tremendous new forces, new influences, which have 
broken up the older habits acquired in the print 
world.
