This line from The Smashing Pumpkins song Thirty-Three has always had a strange ressonance with me. It grabs for me the idea that even though we may be able to listen to a language we may not always hear it. I remember one experience I had when I visited the USA for the first time.
media - technology - theology - faith - communication - education - community - life
"In Jesus Christ, there is no distance or separation between the medium and the message:
it is the one case where we can say that the medium and the message are fully one and the same."
Marshall McLuhan
