- 4. Few students ever acquire skill in analysis of newspapers. Fewer have any ability to discuss a movie intelligently. To be articulate and discriminating about ordinary affairs and information is the mark of an educated man. It's misleading to suppose there's any basic difference between education and entertainment. This distinction merely relieves people of the responsibility of looking into the matter. It's like setting up a distinction between didactic and lyric poetry on the ground that one teaches, the other pleases. However, it's always been true that whatever pleases teaches more effectively. Marshall McLuhan, excerpt from "Classroom Without Walls," Explorations in Communication (Boston: Beacon Press, 1960) bit.ly/mcluhanwithoutwalls1
- 5. [T]hanks to science, the whole world is now aflame. Time and space are practically annihilated: night is turned into day; social life is almost revolutionised, and scores of things which only a few years ago would have been . . . impossible are being accomplished daily. The stage is being set for a communications revolution . . . there can come into homes and business places audio, video and [other] transmissions that will provide newspapers, mail service, banking and shopping facilities, data from libraries, . . . school curricula and other forms of information too numerous to specify. In short, every home and office will contain a communications center of a breadth and flexibility to influence every aspect of private and community life. Today in our cities, most learning occurs outside the classroom. The sheer quantity of information conveyed by [the new media] far exceeds the quantity of information conveyed by school instruction and texts. This challenge has destroyed the monopoly of the book as a teaching aid and cracked the very walls of the classroom so suddenly, we’re confused, baffled. . . . [M]any teachers naturally view the offerings of the new media as entertainment, rather than education. But this carries no conviction to the student...
