So we will soon be able to see Frasier at higher resolution?
And our old TV sets will be not just unfashionable but
unusable except to receive static from the ether?
The deeply wise Jesuit scholar of communication media, a student of
Marshall McLuhan's, Walter Ong, once asked the question
about new higher-resolution (etc.) communication media:
What is the purpose of a person acquiring perfect French pronunciation
if the person has nothing of value to say in any language?
"Yours in [low band-width] discourse...."
But crescit eundo....
