1. “Cyberspace volition non supersede fine art museums, concerts, parks, or sidewalk jugglers’ nor sex, books, buildings, or radio. Each of these before media as well as activities volition motion over a little, equally it were, costless – indeed obliged – to leave of absence to a greater extent than themselves, to a greater extent than involved inward their ain artistry as well as usefulness. Each volition endure dislocated inward sure enough dimensions merely freed inward others, equally Innis, McLuhan, as well as Carpenter then clearly saw” (124).

2. “After all, ‘cyber’ is from the Greek give-and-take kybernan, pregnant to steer or control” (129).
