horse, the discussion would have been concerned to discover 
new jobs for the horse and new kinds of training to extend the 
usefulness of the horse. The complete revolution in 
transportation and in housing and city arrangement would 
have been ignored. The turn of our economy to making and 
servicing motorcars, and the devotion of much leisure time to 
their use on a vast new highway system, would not even have 
been thought of. In other words, it is the framework itself that 
changes with new technology, and not just the picture within 
the frame. Instead of thinking of doing our shopping by 
television, we should become aware that TV intercom means 
the end of shopping itself, and the end of work as we know it at 
present. The same fallacy besets our thinking about TV and 
education. We think of TV as an incidental aid, whereas in fact 
it has already transformed the learning process of the young, 
quite independently of home and school alike.
