...two earnest, fumbling experts... [The Medium is the Mass]

Hello What do 'flightfar' and 'two earnest, fumbling experts' mean in below sentence: 'movies, Telstar, flightfar surpasses any possible influence mom and dad can now bring to bear. Character no longer is shaped by only two earnest, fumbling experts. Now all the world's a sage.' Source: The Book: 'The Medium is the Mass' P14 by Marshal Mcluhan Mohsen
  

Top answer

If you had transcribed the passage more accurately, you would have written: 'movies, Telstar, flight, far surpasses any possible influence mom and dad can now bring to bear'. The two experts are the parents. They are 'fumbling' because they are not capable of being real experts in the modern world, unlike their parents.
