I personally contacted the White House and told them to teach Neil Postman / Marshall McLuhan / James Joyce. Teach Finnegans Wake. A national security calling to cram study Neil Postman alone could have woken up the population. #MediaEcologyCrisis

“But it is much later in the game now (1985), and ignorance of the score is inexcusable. To be unaware that a technology comes equipped with a program for social change, to maintain that technology is neutral, to make the assumption that technology is always a friend to culture is, at this late hour, stupidity plain and simple.”
― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, 1985

If anything, I labored too hard, I tried to cover far too much diversity.

I probably would have done better personally by just repeating myself #RepeatingRepeater "Teach Neil Postman, 1985, Teach Neil Postman 1992" in a loop, over and over, and let them read it themselves. It is self-evident when facing the Apple iPhone.
