Re: [Air-l] Why Am I Only Communicating with Text?

The whole argument about text vs graphic or non verbal communication revolves around what media does to mind. Like every complicated question, there are many tributaries of the main river. Marshall McLuhan explores this question in great detail in The Gutenburg Galaxy which examines how western humanity became type dominated and in Understanding Media which explores electric or hot and cold media as he calls it. Both reads are dense and difficult but essential to this question, IMHO. They are not dated at all!! Norman
