Digital revolutionary George Gilder made a pretty strong assertion regarding the introduction of the computer. He said that in the same sense as the automobile converging with the horse, the computer did not come to transform mass culture, but rather destroy it? Do you agree? Has the computer had as great an impact on mass culture as the automobile?
The excerpt on science fiction writer Bruce Sterling explained that he established what was known as the "Dead Media Project." Is it agreeable that old media never die, but simply the delivery technologies do? Can you think of any examples to which this would not hold true?
