so once we start collapsing all of those different logics that these companies operate on under thisone umbrella term called the internet and then we start comparing with, say, television, i think it creates too many ambiguities and it actually makes it harder for us to understand the logics on which many of those technologies run. >> on mcluhan, did his coinage of that term, 'the global village' not accurately foresee the age, in certain respects, in which we live today? >> well, i don't think that that was a very useful term because it distracted us from understanding a lot more evil forces like nationalism that prevented us from getting to global village, but there was clearly, you know, some kind of a longing for establishing those bridges between idaho and india and the idea was that new media, like television, would allow us to establish those bridges, even though there was very little shared cultural contacts or perhaps even desire to communicate. so in that sense, you know, i do buy into the cosmopolitan project in the sense that we probably want people to think a little bit

the previous equipment was a relay control, and it was analog logic. this has many advantages in that it can be custom program to and can readjust to changes. it can do a multitude of things, like the lights blinking in the lobby. those are all programs that can be controlled by this equipment. before, this room was filled relay panels collect -- that clicked. they had had a big rotator that told the person or the elevator was. we can level these cars with an 1 millimeter. it used to vary on the temperature by up to half an inch. that caused tripping hazards. now you walk out and it is a smooth transition. it is important for the disabled as well. over here is the controller. but this does is it provides information to the elevator where to go. receives commands from within the elevator and from the destination dispatched central -- dispatched central. these elevators are precisely the electronic breaks, so they need to be very precise. in accordance with the vfd to supply power to the elevator motor, which is right here. these are original d.c. drives

i mean, one has to recognize that in that kind of logic, something has happened in which the state is no longer in the service of democracy. >> well, george monbiot, who writes for "the guardian," wrote just the other day, "it's business that really rules us." and he says, "so i don't blame people for giving up on politics when a state-corporate nexus of power has bypassed democracy and made a mockery of the voting process, when an unreformed political funding system ensures that parties can be bought and sold, when politicians of the main parties stand and watch as public services are divvied up by a grubby cabal of privateers, what is left of the system that inspires us to participate?" >> i mean, the real question is why aren't we more outraged? why aren't we in the streets? i mean, that's the central question for the american public. i mean, and i think that question has to address something fundamental and that is what we have, while we have an economic system that in fact has caused a crisis in democracy. what we haven't addressed is the underlying consensus that informs that cr

the sanctions have helped, but we have to exam the logic of the sanctions the logic of the sanctionsas primarily to deal with the suspicious that iran was producing nuclear weapons. if it is certified that iran is not producing nuclear weapons, then the logic of the sanctions falls away. we should both declare victory. >> first up, -- when he was running for president he never talked about sanction having any impact. his basic point was mismanagement. and then after he became president, he started talking about sanctions. you have to understand it's very important. this is politics in the country. second, sanctions were not imposed on the negotiations table. because they weren't negotiating. they have been negotiating for almost ten years now. they were imposed to -- [inaudible] at the higher level. the fact is that the sanction grow iranian as well. so sanctions from that perspective, but the sanction harm the economy and the iranian people? absolutely yes. i'll tell you one thing that is more than sanction is the mismanagement of the economy that is harming and hurting the people.
