All of us move nomadically across the media landscape, cobbling togther a personal mythology of symbols and stories,
and investing those appropriated materials with various personal and subcultural meanings....   —Henry Jenkins

We have become like the most primitive paleolithic man, once more global wanderers,
but information gatherers rather than food gatherers.    —Marshall McLuhan
