“In this electric age we see ourselves being translated more and more into the form of information, moving toward the technological extension of consciousness...we can translate more and more of ourselves into other forms of expression that exceed ourselves.”

-Marshall Mcluhan

"This is a marvel of the universe:

To fling a thought across a stretch of sky—

Some weighty message, or a yearning cry,

It matters not; the elements rehearse

Man's urgent utterance, and his words traverse

The spacious heav'ns like homing birds that fly

Unswervingly, until, upreached on high,

A quickened hand plucks off the message terse.

Toward this man moved since first with whetted stone

He carved strange symbols on the cavern wall,

And proudly turned unto his watching mate.

Through this in travail do his offspring groan

Toward an ideal's love-frought, imperious call

That bids the spheres become articulate."

-"Wireless," by Josephine Peabody (1910)
