"Technologies themselves, regardless of content, produce
a hemispheric bias in the users."
==========================================
"Herbert Krugman performed brain-wave studies, comparing the response of subjects to print and television. One subject was reading a book as the TV came on. As soon as she looked up, her brain waves slowed significantly. In less than two minutes, she was in a predominantly alpha state --relaxed, passive, unfocused. Her brain-wave response to three different types of TV content was basically the same, even though she told Krugman she 'liked' one, 'disliked' another, and 'was bored by' the third. As a result of a series of such experiments, Krugman argues that this predominantly alpha state is characteristic of how people respond to TV --any TV. He recently remarked, 'the ability of respondents to show high right brain response to even familiar logos, their right brain response to stories even before the idea content has been added to them, the predominantly right brain response to TV, and perhaps even to what we call print advertising --all suggests that in contrast to teaching, the unique power of the electronic media is to shape the content of people's imagery, and in that particular way determine their behavior and their views.' (McLuhan & McLuhan, "Laws of Media: The New Science", p.71)

" ' The essence of technology lies in *Logos*. Its holding-sway belongs within destining. Since destining at any given time starts man on a way of revealing, man, thus under way, is continually approaching the brink of the possibility of pursuing and pushing forward nothing but what is revealed in ordering, and of deriving all his standards on this basis. Through this, the other possibility is blocked, that man might be admitted more and sooner and ever more primally to the essence of that which is unconcealed and to its unconcealment, in order that he might experience as his essence his needed belonging to revealing. ' "
" ' ...Man stands so decisively in attendance on the challenging-forth of *Logos* that he does not apprehend *Logos* as a claim, that he fails to see himself as the one spoken to, and hence also fails in every way to hear in what respect he ek-sists, from out of his essence, in the realm of exhortation or address, and thus *can never* encounter only himself. ' "
" ' But *Logos* does not simply endanger man in his relationship to himself and to everything that is. As a destining, it banishes man into that kind of revealing which is an ordering. Where this ordering hods sway, it drives out every other possibility of revealing. Above all, *Logos* conceals that revealing which, in the sense of *poiesis*, lets what presences come forth into appearance. ... Where *Logos* holds sway, regulating and securing of the standing-reserve mark all revealing. They no longer even let their own fundamental characteristic appear, namely, this revealing as such. ' "
" ' Thus the challenging *Logos* not only conceals a former way of revealing, bringing-forth, but it conceals revealing itself and with it That wherein unconcealment, i.e., truth, comes to pass. (Heidegger, "The Question Concerning Technology and Other Essays") ' "
"Had Aristotle written in modern German and been subjected to the tortures of philosophical translation, the result might berry well have resembled this text. I have made just one alteration to it: I have substituted "Logos" where Heidegger has put "Enframing." By "standing reserve" he evidently means a risidue of possible forms." (McLuhan, "On Formal Cause")
