“El legado más importante dejado por el telégrafo y la fotografía quizá sea el pseudo-contexto. Un pseudo-contexto es una estructura inventada para dar a la información fragmentada e irrelevante una apariencia útil. Pero el pseudo-contexto no proporciona acción, ni solución de problemas, ni cambio. Y eso, obviamente, es entretener. Podríamos decir que el pseudo-contexto es el último refugio de una cultura abrumada por la irrelevancia, la incoherencia y la impotencia.”
