Misunderstanding Media

Challenging the notion of an information revolution, this book scrutinizes the historical context of key technologies like telephones, television, computers, and satellites. The author argues that rather than a transformative shift, these advancements have perpetuated existing societal structures, with their disruptive potential often contained. Through a critical examination, the text reveals how the narrative of an information revolution serves to obscure the true historical dynamics at play, leaving society largely unaware of the complexities of technological history.
