Marshall McLuhan
I am in the position of Louis Pasteur telling doctors that their greatest enemy is quite invisible, quite unrecognized by them. Our conventional response to all media, namely that it is how they’re used that counts, is the numb stance of the technological idiot.
Marshall McLuhan

Neil Postman
Surrounding every technology are institutions whose organization — not to mention their reason for being — reflects the world-view promoted by the technology. Therefore, when an old technology is assaulted by a new one, institutions are threatened. When institutions are threatened, a culture finds itself in crisis.
Neil Postman, Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology
