This modification consists in the loss of the human brain's capacity for abstraction. Ability that must be kept functioning just like when a muscle trains, and whose function arises from reading. In fact, by reading you carry out all those formulations, reasonings, calculations, which allow you to keep this capacity for abstraction alive.
By exposing oneself exclusively to the screen, however, with the advent of Homo Videns, one loses this ability, "absorbing" only images , and images no longer filtered rationally, as this function always derives from reading and the capacity Turkey Phone Numbers 32 Million List for abstraction. This is where the whole attack on logic comes from, since a mind no longer structured in this sense, according to Sartori, make detailed reasoning, to analyze things in the appropriate way and will even lose the linguistic property necessary to describe phenomena and objects.
All this will be replaced by the logic of the computer, which in addition to being reductionist, is hypertextual, "circular" , which for the sociologist essentially means a continuous going around in circles.
