Spatial Narrative
I think CD-ROMs imply a new kind of narrative...Instead of just moving through time, all of a sudden stories now move through space, so that architecture becomes the reigning metaphor.

Knowledge vs. information
Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things. We are in great haste to construct a magnetic telegraph from Maine to Texas; but Maine and Texas, it may be, have nothing important to communicate.
