Marshall McLuhan

Marshall McLuhan
In an age of multiple and massive innovations, obsolescence becomes the major obsession.
Marshall McLuhan
Like primitive, we now live in a global village of our own making, a simultaneous happening. It doesn't necessarily mean harmony and peace and quiet but it does mean huge involvement in everybody else's affairs.
Marshall McLuhan
Art is anything you can get away with.
Marshall McLuhan
Language as the technology of human extension, whose powers of division and separation we know so well, may have been the Tower of Babel by which men sought to scale the highest heavens. Today computers hold out the promise of a means of instant tr
Marshall McLuhan
Typography tended to alter language from a means of perception and exploration to a portable commodity.
Marshall McLuhan
It is critical vision alone which can mitigate the unimpeded operation of the automatic.
Marshall McLuhan
The successor to politics will be propaganda. Propaganda, not in the sense of a message or ideology, but as the impact of the whole technology of the times.
