Our Ailing Educational Institutions

The international programming industries are gradually replacing national educational systems and their national institutional programmes which, as a result, no longer seem compatible with the transmission imperatives defined by the planetary industrial and mnemotechnical system.

If history can, and must, essentially be analysed as the relation between the evolution of technical systems and that of other social systems, what constitutes the problem of adjustment is that the analysis of mnemotechnics shows that the latter always overdetermines the conditions of this adjustment: namely, the process of adoption.

What is really at stake are the radically new possibilities of projection that are offered by digital devices of tertiary retention.
