Bio
Executive Severance, my Twitter-composed comic murder mystery novel has just been published by NeoPoiesis Press and is available from Amazon at http://amzn.to/zkkuFU. An experienced information technology executive, until recently I was Associate Director in the Office of Information Technology at St. George's University. I have held senior technology positions at Columbia University Medical Center, the New York City Board of Education, PricewaterhouseCoopers, HarperCollins Publishers and CBS. As an adjunct professor at Fordham University, I taught courses in communication theory, mass media and society and media industries. I have a Ph.D. in Media Ecology (Communication Theory and Media Studies) and a Finance MBA, both from New York University. My doctoral research concerned the impact of television advertising on our culture. I continue to tweet at RKBs_Twitstery, and I am hard at work on a follow-up novel to Executive Severance at the companion blog "Whale Fire" at http://www.executiveseverance.blogspot.com/ I discuss my media ecological musings and speculations in my blog, "A Model Media Ecologist" which can be found at www.robertkblechman.blogspot.com.

Neil Postman: "Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see"

Rate: 1 Flag
Neil Postman wrote, “Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see.” This is the first sentence of The Disappearance of Childhood, published in 1982 by Delacorte Press.


I totally misunderstood what Neil meant when I first read it and proceeded to take my kids down to the post office to have them weighed, stamped and dispatched. Fortunately the Post Master was also a Postman master and set me straight.

Happy 80th birthday Neil Postman!

"Amusing Ourselves to Death" is STILL such an important book.
