I like this book

Just a few days ago, I finished Amusing Ourselves To Death and the whole book gave me more interest of how media metaphors control the content of our culture.  I somewhat had a knowledge of this prior to reading the book, however, this book gave a great depth on technology and the Huxleyan and Orwellian point of view.  From the oralism era, typography era, and to the present  television era, Postman gave different perceptions of how each format divulged public discourse.  It really showed me that we have progressed greatly in the last few centuries.  I don't necessarily believe that our technology is negatively impacting us, if anything, its the most convenient resource we have.  In contrast though, we should at least be more conscious on the epistemology of media.  Therefore, we won't be so ignorant of the true ideology they are giving us.  Like Huxley said,  "[...] what afflicted people in Brave New World was not that they were laughing instead of thinking, but that they did not know what they were laughing about and why they had stopped thinking."
