Marshall McLuhan
Most of our assumptions have outlived their uselessness.
Marshall McLuhan
The movie stars and matinee idols are put into the public domain by photography. They become dreams that money can buy. They can be bought and thumbed more easily than public prostitutes.
Marshall McLuhan
When things come at you very fast, naturally you lose touch with yourself.
Marshall McLuhan
We don't know who discovered water, but we know it wasn't the fish.
Marshall McLuhan
Technologies themselves, regardless of content, produce a hemispheric bias in the users.
