17. "THE PRINTING PRESS, THE COMPUTER, AND
TELEVISION ARE NOT THEREFORE SIMPLY MACHINES
WHICH CONVEY INFORMATION. THEY ARE METAPHORS
THROUGH WHICH WE CONCEPTUALIZE REALITY IN ONE
WAY OR ANOTHER. THEY WILL CLASSIFY THE WORLD
FOR US, SEQUENCE IT, FRAME IT, ENLARGE IT, REDUCE
IT, ARGUE A CASE FOR WHAT IT IS LIKE. THROUGH
THESE MEDIA METAPHORS, WE DO NOT SEE THE WORLD
AS IT IS. WE SEE IT AS OUR CODING SYSTEMS ARE.
SUCH IS THE POWER OF THE FORM OF INFORMATION."
