Marshall McLuhan Quotes:
Ocupation: Philosopher
Life: July 21, 1911 - December 31, 1980
Birthday: July 21
Death: December 31
All media work us over completely. They are so pervasive in their personal, political, economic, aesthetic, psychological, moral, ethical, and social consequences that they leave no part of us untouched, unaffected, unaltered. The medium is the massage. Any understanding of social and cultural change is impossible without a knowledge of the way media work as environments. All media are extensions of some human faculty - psychic or physical.
