power of this medium of electric light to transform
every structure of time and space and work and
society that it penetrates or contacts, he will have
the key to the form of the power that is in all
media to reshape any lives that they touch. Except
for light, all other media come in pairs, with one
acting as the ‘content’ of the other, obscuring the
operation of both.” (1964, p.52)

the introduction of new media and technologies,
we will gain insight into the process of cultural
change.
