Marshall McLuhan
The ignorance of how to use knowledge stockpiles exponentially.
Marshall McLuhan
When people become too intense, too serious, they will have trouble in relating to any sort of social game or norm. Perhaps this is why jokes are so important. On one hand they tell us about where the problems and grievances are, and, at the same time, they provide the means of enduring these grievances by laughing at the problems.
Marshall McLuhan

All media exist to invest our lives with artificial perceptions and arbitrary values.
Marshall McLuhan
The user of the electric light - or a hammer, or a language, or a book - is the content. As such, there is a total metamorphosis of the user by the interface. It is the metamorphosis that I consider the message.
Marshall McLuhan
Food for the mind is like food for the body: the inputs are never the same as the outputs.
Marshall McLuhan
The new electronic independence re-creates the world in the image of a global village.
Marshall McLuhan
The new media are not ways of relating to us the 'real' world they are the real world and they reshape what remains of the old world at will.
Marshall McLuhan
By phonemic trans-formation into visual terms, the alphabet became a universal, abstract, static container of meaningless sounds.
Marshall McLuhan
