This chapter presents Neil Postman’s Amusing Ourselves to Death, which is a critique of the effects of television on print culture, public debate, and public education. Postman’s book can also be read as an example of a media ecological approach to the long-term effects of communication technologies on human culture. This presentation approaches Postman’s book from four perspectives: as a form of media philosophy, media history, media critique, and finally as a proposition for a media ecological approach to education.
