My concern with the crisis in the evolution of
human settlements stems from years of study of
the effects of media of communication and
transportation of changing patterns of human
association and living. In fact, I am engaged in
completing a book on the extensions of man,
which includes matters of immediate concern in
housing and town-planning. In the electric age it is
the extension of the central nervous system itself
(not just the extensions of the body) that so
much confuses the problems of living-space. The
extension of the nervous system by electric media
has no precedent in human culture.
