McLuhan on Computers:
 ====================
 Today computers hold out the promise of a means of instant
 translation of any code or language into any other code or language.
 The computer, in short, promises by technology a Pentecostal
 condition of universal under standing and unity.  The next logical
 step would seem to be, not to translate, but to bypass languages in
 favour of a general cosmic consciousness which might be very like
 the collective unconscious dreamt of by Bergson.  The con dition of
 "weightlessness," that biologists say promises a physical immortal
 ity, may be paralleled by the condition of speechlessness that could
 confer a perpetuity of collective harmony and peace.
