neil postman

In Neil postman’s videos he talks about socertes quoting him saying “ the unexamined life is not worth living and he also quotes Micah on how we should walk humbly with our God. In his book he talks about Galileo and how he believes “ the language of nature is written in mathematics, he meant as a metaphor”  in this he is trying to show that nature doesn’t speak and neither to our minds. Postman uses well know great minds to support his argument that technology is ruining our society and that this is not how life should be that technology id just clustering up our life. He uses Micah, a man from our savers time to show that we should be walking close with God and we know that our way of life stands in the way of this a majority of the time. He uses Galileo to show that it is not our minds or our bodies speaking then selves but that speaking is just a way of communicating, we speak our minds.

In Postman’s book he talk s about how we have mover from the magic of writing or speaking face to face to the magic of technology. In his book he talks about the clock and how this electronic is just an extension of our mind and is used to transform the way we think. In the video he talks about how technology will lead to the ability to clone which will also show a whole new way of thinking.
