"(Whenever) a new #technology developed, it creates a new #environment for the whole #culture, and this environment is totally invisible. This has always been true." - #MarshallMcLuhan, 1967

This is not a bad thing: “ One of the effects of living with electronic #information is that we live habitually in a state of #InformationOverload. There’s always more than you can cope with.” - #MarshallMcLuhan, 1967 #philosophy

-- Marshall McLuhan

“We have never stopped interfering drastically ourselves by every #technology we could latch on to. We have absolutely disrupted our lives over and over again.” - #MarshallMcLuhan, 1965

“The car is what it does to people and what it does to the environment, and so with any other medium, as far as I know.”
— Marshall McLuhan

Never predict

I’ve always been very careful never to predict anything that has not already happened.
