Interesting threads, this one and the previous one "[Alt-photo] Re: 
Video: "David Hockney: Photoshop is boring."

This all got me to thinking and reading.  So far I have revisited:

McLuhan, Marshall and Quentin Fiore.  THE MEDIUM IS THE MASSAGE.

Berger, John.  WAYS OF SEEING.

Ellul, Jaques.  TECHNOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

Ellul, Jaques.  PROPAGANDA.

Tonight I listened to a recording of John Berger reading 'The Accordion 
Player' 
<http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/whatson/downloads/files/bergerica.mp3>.  
I do find it odd that anybody could argue that the Adobe Corporation 
product PHOTOSHOP is a neutral tool.
