Abstract

In the tradition of Marshall McLuhan it is shown how different media, i.e. speech, parchment, manuscript, printed book are determining factors in the limits of knowledge and communication thereof. New possibilities introduced by computers are considered: multilinear access, variants, new distinctions between verbal and visual, scale, integration of geometrical and algebraic methods, emphasis on process, and system. Computers are the first tool with multi-media capabilities, allowing output in the same medium as the input. The philosophical implications of these innovations are explored
