He commented that if television produced the global village, the Internet produces the global psyche, with ‘everyone keyed in like a neuron, so that to the eyes of a watching Martian we are really part of a single planetary brain. Contraptions don’t change consciousness; contraptions are part of consciousness’ (Gopnik 2011, 2).
