Meer over het boek
Focusing on Neil Postman's examination of media's impact on culture, the paper explores the shift from the Age of Reason, dominated by print, to the Age of Show Business, characterized by television. Postman argues that this transition has led to a society increasingly focused on entertainment over rational discourse. The analysis extends to the effects of the internet on modern American culture, coining terms like "Informing Ourselves to Death" and "Infotaining Ourselves to Death," while also offering critical reflections on Postman's theories from a contemporary perspective.
