     places or mixing-places that allows us to react to the 
     world as a whole  to a much greater degree than most 
     other animals can do.

     Failure to understand the organic character of electric 
technology is evident in our continuing concern with the 
dangers of mechanizing the world. Rather, we are in great 
danger of wiping out our entire investment in the pre-electric 
technology of the literate and mechanical kind by means of an 
indiscriminate use of electrical energy. What makes a

of our body as hand, arm, feet, in pen, hammer, wheel. And the 
mechanization of a task is done by segmentation of each part
