Another great example of how technology often changes how we exchange information. Fun talk, worth watching.
David Carson was also interviewed in Helvetica. It’s a movie worth watching if you haven’t seen it yet.

I believe the quote you mention is from Marshall McLuhan. The speaker was reading from a book of McLuhan quotes.
