Why is it so easy to acquire the solutions of past problems and so difficult to solve current ones

Any understanding of social and cultural change is impossible without a knowledge of the way media work as environments.

There is a real, living unity in our time, as in any other, but it lies submerged under a superficial hubbub of sensation.

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

Our motor car is our supreme form of privacy when we are away from home.

First we build the tools, then they build us.

The content or time-clothing of any medium or culture is the preceding medium or culture.
