Greetings from your extended nervous system

A short clip of the author William Gibson talking about the prevalence of media that I showed to my students a while back. I was particularly interested in his observations about the reach of the media - that it is very difficult to find any "non-mediated" people on the planet anymore.



I think we've been growing a sort of extended prosthetic nervous system for the last hundred years or so, and it's really starting to take, you know. It's really really starting to grow now."
