Flusser:  "The world is no longer palpable, the hands no longer reach it.  This is a world that is only apparent to the eyes;  it is 'phenomenal'; it deceives.  This world is an imagined world that has lost its concretion, but has gained amplitude.  Effectively:  it is superficial and plane, the dimension of depth has been abstracted from it" (Into Immaterial Culture 27).
