Probably the main characteristic of our age is the ability
of most people to be more and more ignorant of the world in
which they live. In a world in which there is more information,
more education, more so-called communication than ever before,
5 this may appear to be unlikely; but anybody who considers the
behaviour of his fellow men will understand it to be true. The
reason for this is that all our methods of communication are
concerned not so much with the discovery of truth as with the
creation of images of how we think reality should be.
10 The most obvious example of this is that form of communication
we refer to as mass communication. First of all there is that
part of it which is particularly concerned with the making of
false images; that is, the world of the television commercial or
newspaper advertisement. One could take as an example the
15 image of the motor car as a symbol of comfort, power and success,
and contrast this with the reality of it caught in heavy traffic, a
hot, dirty source of frustration for the person inside and everybody
and everything outside, a perfect example of the impractical and
foolish dreams of civilized man. The image making in this case
20 has a simple function; the selling of an object which nobody in
his right mind could ever want to have, since his having it must
imply everybody else's having it.
