Regarding Wilbur Schramm, Richard Clark, and Ian Hart's [26 Jul 96.a] confirmation that we all agree with them now anyway--I regret having to disconfirm that sweeping unanimity by at least one humble abstention. Clark's surgically clean dichotomy (lobotomy?) between "content" and "carriage" is just a bit too neat and tidy. Intuition or not, I still suspect flaws in his way of conceiving "technology" in contemporary life experience, and I suspect that some others do too, without, I hope, being guilty of uncritical technophoria. Writing recently on the AAHESGIT list about the unsettling nature of new technologies, Trent Bateson and Randy Bass, quoting Clifford Geertz, pointed out--in case we hadn't noticed it--that the last 20 or 30 years have seen some pretty profound shifts in "the way we think about the way we think." That means the way we learn, too, and I don't think the ingenious delivery truck metaphor is the end of the story.
