Scope and content

A comparison of George Orwell's book 1984 to the actual year 1984, in which Mr. Illich discusses two changes to language: 1) the reduction of language to a minimum of words forming a code, as in today's computer languages, which results in communication without meaning, and 2) the evolution of nonsense words, resulting in language pollution. Side One: Introduction by Dr. John Meisel. Address by Ivan Illich. Side Two: Question and answer period continues (but starts halfway through tape).
