These days |
| [00:02.84] |
The letter's like a freeze frame |
| [00:08.97] |
All the old ways |
| [00:12.19] |
Get cluttered in the bric brac bones of the day |
| [00:18.78] |
Now the book lights |
| [00:21.83] |
They flicker like the fireflies |
| [00:27.69] |
In the long night |
| [00:31.55] |
The xerox of our sheets bound back for the day |
| [02:27.95][02:08.74][01:49.81][01:01.47][00:42.40] |
Will we sit like old friends |
| [02:13.36][01:54.45][00:47.45] |
When the day of the book ends? |
| [02:18.38][01:59.03][00:51.90] |
Will we sit like old friends |
| [02:23.12][02:03.88][00:56.66] |
When the day of the book ends? |
| [01:06.55] |
Feel the spine bend |
| [01:10.23] |
The scanners light the loose ends |
| [01:15.94] |
When the letter sends |
| [01:19.93] |
Our voices become flash, like matches to flame |
| [01:25.68] |
At your bedside |
| [01:29.50] |
You're reaching for the outside |
| [01:35.20] |
In the long night |
| [01:39.02] |
|
| [02:33.72] |
McLuhan: |
| [02:34.29] |
Instead of going out and buying a packaged book |
| [02:37.23] |
of which there have been five thousand copies printed, |
| [02:40.25] |
you will go to the telephone, |
| [02:41.87] |
describe your interests, your needs, your problems, |
| [02:45.88] |
and the ... will be right over ,and they at once xerox, |
| [02:49.45] |
with the help of computers from the libraries of the world, |
| [02:51.95] |
all the latest material just for you personally, |
| [02:55.46] |
not as something to be put out on there on a bookshelf. |
| [03:01.83] |
They send you the package as a direct personal service. |
| [03:05.47] |
This is where we're heading under electronic information conditions |
