It is in other words, not only an agricultural metaphor, itis also one of optimistic modernism. Iti about planned growth in the widest possible circles, the production ifthe conditions are right, of arch harvest The metsphor presupposes a bucket of seeds atthe cente of the activity, ie, the existence of centralized resources intended and sited for spreading ~ and reproduction. The question to be looked into is why a new technology that ransmited words and pictures clectronicaly was organized ina way tat made this agrieultral metaphor seem adequate. Since television as technology i related to varius two — way forms of communication, suchas the telegragh andthe telephone, itis all he more striking that, fom its very early days, it was envisaged as a centralized “mass” medium.
