Neil Postman

Neil Postman is the chair of the Department of Culture and Communications at New York University. He has
written important books on education and technology such as Teaching as a Conserving Activity and The Disappearance of Childhood. Postman, however, has also written much on the effect of media in Amusing Ourselves to Death and on the overall effects of technology in Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology.

Technopoly is a state of culture. It is also a state of mind. It consists in the deification of technology, finds its satisfactions in technology, and takes its orders from technology.
