	Hi, Darren,

	My thesis is on Walter Ong's theory of secondary orality.  Ong
	thinks that tv, radio, computers and other mass media enhance
	individual consciousness; he stands virtually alone in his
	opinion.  Other comm. theorists, especially McLuhan, Postman,
	Meyrowitz, see electronic media as detrimental to individual
	thought and consciousness.  Basically, I'm trying to defend
	Ong, but I've had to go outside comm. theory to find stuff.
	That's how I bumped into Lyotard.
