In one way or another, everyone is equal before these cultural machines; like technology itself, the mass media are nearly universal in their incidence and appeal. They are a kind of common denominator, a kind of scheme for pre-scheduled, mass emotions.”
    —C. Wright Mills (1916–62)

    Unbroken wisdom in a single look,
    Though we know well that when this fix the head,
    The mind’s immortal, but the man is dead.”
