"You see, Dad, Professor McLuhan says the environment that man creates becomes his medium for defining his role in it. The invention of type created linear or sequential thought, separating thought from action. Now, with TV and folk singing, thought and action are closer and social involvement is greater. We again live in a village. Get it?"

"One belief is that every person is inhabited by a spirit, or ko, which goes travelling while the human body is asleep. If a man should be awakened suddenly - so the belief is- the Ko might not have time to get back into its body and would get even by going around causing trouble. So the people believe a man should be allowed to sleep until he wakes up of his own accord." U.S. Army Pocket Guide to New Caledonia.
