location of the process. In entertainment media, we speak of 
this fact as “mass media” because the source of the program 
and the process of experiencing it are independent in space, yet 
simultaneous in time. In industry this basic fact causes the 
scientific revolution that is called “automation” or 
“cybernation.”

     In education the conventional division of the curriculum 
into subjects is already as outdated as the medieval trivium 
and quadrivium after the Renaissance. Any subject taken in 
depth at once relates to other subjects. Arithmetic in grade 
three or nine, when taught in terms of number theory, symbolic 
logic, and cultural history, ceases to be mere practice in 
problems. Continued in their present patterns of fragmented 
unrelation, our school curricula will insure a citizenry unable to 
understand the cybernated world in which they live.
