I thought it was interesting, but I was more disappointed that Postman was not the radical I\'d hoped for. (Yes, he was a radical, just not the one I wanted at the time.) It\'s still on the shelf, and I need to revisit it. I got this book in my teens. I thought it was interesting, but I was more disappointed that Postman was not the radical I\’d hoped for.

I was _definitely_ too young in my undergrad days. I'm thinking the decade-long hiatus was actually a very smart move in retrospect ;-) I think I’m only now just reaching a point where I’m able to truly appreciate the gravity and impact of what Postman (and others) were describing.

At the time, I was too young to really appreciate it, I think. I definitely have to give it another shot. Thanks for the reminder. I read this book probably in 1970 as a young college student.

His 1992 book <i>Technopoly</i> has some devastating critiques of educational technology, though it seems to have a one-way, push-button ode of ICT in mind. I wish he was still alive. Andrew Keen ain't Neil Postman. I haven’t read this… sounds fascinating, and remarkable given the direction his later work would take.
