Just before I read your comments, I was reading in the "Parade" magazine from last Sunday an article on cities' promoting and accommodating bicycle riding. I think both Postman's book and the bike article share a common theme--the value of backing away from an easy and technological way of life, and being willing to put more effort into basic relationships and activities. We may feel stifled in a smaller world that way, but life's activites and relationships seem more real than superficial. -- David Thanks, Paul, for sharing your thoughts on Postman’s book.
