Electronic information is simultaneously everywhere and nowhere. It's an extension of the CNS. CNS gets charged during meditation whereby it stores up spiritual energy.
Technological simulation occurs with the TV, once its landscape (effects precede causes) is gathered and housed then projected onto the passive viewership as sensual hallucinogenic programming by techno-becoming.
The cluster of critics who have addressed orality and literacy, following the lead of Walter Ong, H.A. Innis and Eric Havelock, have—like them—failed to comprehend the fact that McLuhan was disseminating a Joycean view which grounded communication in tactility, gesture and CNS processes, rather than promulgating the emergence of a new oral/aural age, a secondary orality. This emphasis on the tactile, the gestural and the play of the CNS in communication is a key to Joyce’s literary exploration of a theme he shared with his radical modernist colleagues in other arts who envisioned the eventual development of a coenaesthetic medium9 that would integrate and harmonize the effects of sensory and neurological information in currently existing and newly emerging art forms.
