Marshall McLuhan
Transmitted at the speed of light, all events on this planet are simultaneous. In the electric environment of information all events are simultaneous, there is no time or space separating events.
Marshall McLuhan
Today the tyrant rules not by club or fist, but disguised as a market researcher, he shepherds his flocks in the ways of utility and comfort.
Marshall McLuhan
Obsolescence never meant the end of anything, it's just the beginning.
Marshall McLuhan
The car has become an article of dress without which we feel uncertain, unclad, and incomplete in the urban compound.
