Marshall McLuhan
Except for light, all other media come in pairs, with one acting as the content of the other, obscuring the operation of both.
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

Marshall McLuhan

Marshall McLuhan
