However, his point is that the Medum is the MASSAGE- as in messaging your mind, making it numb to what is being pumped in. Thanks for reminding me- Marshall McLuhan is someone I had quite forgotten about. Great find.
The massage and effects of the electrical cycles of television transmission on the human nervous system startled my thinking.
