And it is useful to know this because today, in the electric age, the simultaneous character of information moving at the speed of light assails from all directions simultaneously as we hear from all directions at once. We do not see from all directions at once, but we hear from above, behind, sides, below, from all directions simultaneously. Acoustic space has a peculiar property; it is a sphere without a center or whose center is everywhere and whose margin is nowhere. This is the space of vibes. This is the space of electric man. This is the simultaneous space of electric technology. Now this space, needless to say, is scarcely compatible with the static, continuous, connected spaces of the visual, civilized man of the past 2500 years.
了解这一点是很有效的,由于今日,在电子期间,带有同步特性的信息以光速移动从各个偏向同时袭来,就像我们同时听到各个偏向的声音一样。我们不克不及同时看向各个偏向,但是我们可以同时从上方、背面、侧边、下头,从各个偏向听到声音。声学空间由一个特别的性子:它是一个没有中间的球体,大概说它到处中间、无处边沿。这是共鸣的空间。这是电子人的空间。这是电子技能的同步空间。如今这个空间,不消说,与已往2500年的视觉文明人的静态的、一连的、毗连的空间险些不兼容。
按:电子情况里的信息模式,与声学空间雷同:同时从全部偏向上吸收信息,同时向各个偏向发送信息。
和声学空间一样,电子人的空间——亦即电子技能的同步空间或共鸣空间——也是一个没有中间的球体,大概说到处中间、无处边沿。这种模式的空间与书面-机器的空间不兼容,也便是说,电声空间不是“空间”。
