Marshall McLuhan
Man works when he is partially involved. When he is totally involved he is at play or leisure.
Marshall McLuhan

Marshall McLuhan

Marshall McLuhan
Invention is the mother of necessities.
Marshall McLuhan
The task confronting contemporary man is to live with the hidden ground of his activities as familiarly as our literate predecessors lived with the figure minus ground.
Marshall McLuhan

Marshall McLuhan
