[Air-l] Medium Theory

[Irene Berkowitz]

HI Nathan,

You might want to ask your question on the mediaecology listserv at:
mediaecology at ube.ubalt.edu 

Many people in this group do work along these lines.  Meyrowitz's work
is well known among that group (as it McLuhan's) and I believe he is a
member of that group.

Good luck,
IB

To some extent this work guided my PhD thesis research.  When I return
from CSCW you can email me and I can send you a copy of the relevant
chapters.

Regards
Quentin
