Comment: This quote suggests that technologies, especially those related to language and communication, don't just serve as external tools but fundamentally shape human consciousness and perception from within. It highlights how transformative the impacts of new technologies can be on the basic ways we think and make meaning.Technologies are not mere exterior aids but also interior transformations of consciousness and never more than when they affect the word.
