"Task of childhood: to bring the new world into symbolic space. The child, in fact, can do what the grownup absolutely cannot: recognize the new once again....To each truly new configuration of nature--and, at bottom, technology is just such a configuration--there correspond new 'images.' Every childhood discovers these new images in order to incorporate them into the image stock of humanity." (390)
