What
we have to develop is what sometimes appears under the slightly ridiculous
name "interactivity."
Of course we're never going to achieve some kind of symmetry or reciprocity.
This mirage, that the addresse
might reappropriate what reaches him, is a fantasy. This
is no reason to abandon the addressee to passivity and not to militate
for all forms
of the right of response, right of selection, right of interception, right
of intervention. A vast field is open here.
