Neil Postman on CyberSpace
Media theorist and cultural critique Neil Postman (1931-2003) comments made in 1995 on cyberspace - even before the popular use of the Internet.

I've read most of Postman's books during my four-year mass communications degree course, and he does an excellent job in pointing out many of the flawed assumptions that govern our understanding of the media. His books, especially Amusing Ourselves to Death and Technopoly are a must read for all folks who hope to think and reflect critically on the media.
