man is fragmented by his technologies, but these technologies are self amputations of our own organs.

when so amputated, each organ becomes a closed system of great new intensity.

we have to numb our central nervous system when it is extended and exposed, or we will die.

thus the age of anxiety and ofelectric media is also the age of the unconscious and of apathy.

with our central nervous system strategically numbed, the tasks of conscious awareness and order are transferred to the physical life of man.

for the first time man has become aware of technology as an extension of his physical body.
