Gotta do some more reading for uni, judging by the first lot i've done i'll need to get my red pen out for correcting it....fucking orthodox media philosophers.
Apparently politicians allow technology to adapt to them, not them adapting to the new technology. By that logic it means the internet wouldn't exist if politicians didn't allow it do adopt to them. I wish people would proof read before they get there books published, and at least get their ridiculous ideas challenged.
(I was not using reductio ad absurdum, that is really what the guy is saying).
