“The effect of radio on literate or visual man was to reawaken his tribal memories, and the effect of sound added to motion pictures was to diminish the role of mime, tactility, and kinesthesis.

The development of writing and the visual organization of life made possible the discovery of individualism, introspection and so on.”
