Postman's statement
Neil Postman expressed his notions in both interview and book about how people can be carelss in communicatining with other people. In his book, Postman mentioned that, "the decline of the Age of Typography and the ascendancy of the Age of Television", it reveals the change in technonology can affect the society and people. As the technology changes, not only our lifestyle is going to change, but even our concept and mind. In his another quote, "our conversations about nature and about ourselves are conducted in whatever 'languages' we find it possible and convenient to employ", it relates what he said in the interview. He said that in next millenium, people will become our language, and further as our communication. Besides, the notions in Postman's book are also revealed in his interview. He merely states the change in generation and the consequences we can get in order to communicate with media. Either way, Postman's opinion has criticism towards us that we don't realize we are "entertaining ourselves to death".
