    Is he talking about the TV?, The radio? Our dishes? The subway? A book?

    I get the point, but i think it’s a little bit of demagogy.

    Cheers!

    I guess he’s talking about computers, hence the “alert”.
    And yes, it is demagogical, but it’s just humor.

    Hummm… I don´t think it´s lifeless… There´s a whole bunch of people connecting through this machine. In fact, I´m interacting with you right now! hehe

    Just trying to find the positive side of this!

    Have to agree with Zarate.

    Plus, the phrase is incorrect. We’re not interacting with a lifeless machine, but with human beings. Thus we’re interacting THROUGH a lifeless machine and WITH lifeful beings. Which makes me think that the machine isn’t lifeless anymore.

    Invoking McLuhan, if your speech are a means to express your thoughts or emotions, than a mouse can be that too. Technology and Web are just longer arms, wider brains, better eyes.

    CHEERS!
