Joyce Meyer Author, Speaker
Media

"It's amazing how much information is coming at us most of the time through technology, the media and the busyness of the world around us.

June Jordan Poet, Activist
Media

"There is a man who exists as one of the most popular objects of leadership, legislation, and quasi-literature in the history of all men. . . .

That man is Black and alive in white America where the media of communication do not allow the delivery of his own voice, his own desires, his own rage."

With electronification the flow is taken out of the wire and into the vacuum tube circuit, which confers freedom and flexibility such as are in metaphor and in words themselves."
