Neil Postman
“make content so abundantly available, context be damned, that we’ll be overwhelmed by “information glut” until what is truly meaningful is lost and we no longer care what we’ve lost as long as we’re being amused....”
Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business

Neil Postman
“In courtrooms, classrooms, operating rooms, board rooms, churches and even airplanes, Americans no longer talk to each other, they entertain each other.”
Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business

Neil Postman
“the assumption that a new medium is merely an extension or amplification of an older one; that an automobile, for example, is only a fast horse, or an electric light a powerful candle.”
Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business

George Orwell
“of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening. By lack of understanding they remained sane. They simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird.”
George Orwell, 1984

George Orwell
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been re-painted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. I”
George Orwell, 1984
