Marshall McLuhan

Marshall McLuhan

Marshall McLuhan
The 'content' of any medium is always another medium.
Marshall McLuhan
Work does not exist in a nonliterate world. The primitive hunter or fisherman did no work, any more than does the poet, painter, or thinker of today. Where the whole man is involved there is no work.
Marshall McLuhan
The content or time-clothing of any medium or culture is the preceding medium or culture.
Marshall McLuhan
The bible belt is oral territory and therefore despised by the literati.
Marshall McLuhan
The specialist is one who never makes small mistakes while moving toward the grand fallacy.
Marshall McLuhan
Innovation for holders of conventional wisdom is not novelty but annihilation.
Marshall McLuhan
All media are extensions of some human faculty- psychic or physical.
Marshall McLuhan
Societies have always been shaped more by the nature of the media by which men communicate than by the content of the communication.
Marshall McLuhan
