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
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
The age of automation is going to be the age of do it yourself.
Marshall McLuhan

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
The 'content' of any medium is always another medium.
Marshall McLuhan
Literacy, the visual technology, dissolved the tribal magic by means of its stress on fragmentation and specialization and created the individual.
Marshall McLuhan
The price of eternal vigilance is indifference.
Marshall McLuhan
The news automatically becomes the real world for the TV user and is not a substitute for reality, but is itself an immediate reality.
Marshall McLuhan
The alphabet and print technology fostered and encouraged a fragmenting process, a process of specialism and detachment. Electric technology fosters and encourages unification and involvement.
