Understanding this quote
The quote calls for resisting the habit of letting older media shape how newer technologies are understood. “Media imperialism” describes this as a kind of colonization: established ways of communicating take control of the meaning of new tools. The point is that new technologies should be considered on their own terms, rather than treated as updated versions of what came before.
