the most diverse and specialized areas and organs of action is 
quite the opposite of organization in a mechanized society. 
Mechanization of any process is achieved by fragmentation, 
beginning with the mechanization of writing by movable types, 
which has been called the “monofracture of manufacture.”

     The electric telegraph, when crossed with typography, 
created the strange new form of the modern newspaper. Any 
page of the telegraph press is a surrealistic mosaic of bits of 
“human interest” in vivid interaction. Such was the art form of 
Chaplin and the early silent movies. Here, too, an extreme 
speed-up of mechanization, an assembly line of still shots on 
celluloid, led to a strange reversal. The movie mechanism, aided 
by the electric light, created the illusion of organic form and 
movement as much as a fixed position had created the illusion 
of perspective on a flat surface five hundred years before.
