| Abstract | At almost the same moment teachers became aware of the special power that writing has for the creation of thought, they also became aware that the world has moved from literacy into "secondary orality." For many, this new world is threatening, an apparent challenge to the analytical thought that is fundamental for academic literacy. In particular, the fear is that with television, as Neil Postman argues, students may be amusing themselves to death. To future generations, however, these fears may seem as ill-founded as those Plato expressed on the dangers of writing. The task for teachers, then, is twofold: first, to guide students through the history of the communication revolution, so that they can be empowered by the knowledge of how different media affect thought in different ways, and second, to help students use one medium to challenge and engage another. Students engaged in a learning environment that combines the holistic and integrative world of television and the analytical and structured world of the computer are students who should be uniquely capable of using one medium, in the words of Marshall McLuhan, "to clobber other media."
