At electric speeds patterns become so clear that
even bureaucrats begin to get the message. This is
new, though: things used to change gradually
enough to be imperceptible, but today the patterns
of change are declaring themselves very vividly
because of the speed at which they occur. This is
what pollution comes from: pollution is merely the
revelation of a changing situation at very high
speeds.
Marshall McLuhan, “Electric Consciousness & The
Church: Marshall McLuhanTalks to Hubert Hoskins,”
The Listener , v.83 no. 2139, March 26, 1970.
