It is not easy to convince a literary man that an
interest in the psycho-dynamics of the printed
form of codification of information is anything but
malice toward literature. Moreover, he is likely to
feel personal humiliation at finding that he is, in
fact, quite unaware of some of the basic effects
of the print form upon many of his most
cherished ideas and attitudes. If I explain that
radio and television are not really consumer media
in the full sense that photography and film are,
Madison Avenue gets upset. Personally I am not
trying to upset such people. I am really trying to
understand media and to discover their unique
dynamics.
