The power of TV to reveal the motives of action in the human countenance is part of the general X-ray process inherent in electric technology. The Watergate hearings made this clear when the boys in the back room became show business. The impossibility of secrecy under electronic conditions makes espionage and man-hunting the principal activity of our time, and renders the old forms of wheel-dealering impracticable. Electric power will be used by the old guard of the 19th century minds to implement even further the patterns of centralized hardware and authorit, and there will be a continuing rejection of consumer values and specialism.
