Neil Postman Quotes
The Mechanical Clock," As Lewis Mumford Wrote, "made Possible The Idea Of Regular Production, Regular Working Hours And A Standardized Product." In Short, Without The Clock, Capitalism Would Have Been Quite Impossible.4 The Paradox, The Surprise, And The Wonder Are That The Clock Was Invented By Men Who Wanted To Devote Themselves More Rigorously To God; It Ended As The Technology Of Greatest Use To Men Who Wished To Devote Themselves To The Accumulation Of Money. In The Eternal Struggle Between God And Mammon, The Clock Quite Unpredictably Favored The Latter. Unforeseen Consequences Stand In The Way Of All Those Who Think They See Clearly The Direction In Which A New Technology Will Take Us.
