Marshall McLuhanIn television, images are projected at you. You are the screen. The images wrap around you. You are the vanishing point.
Marshall McLuhanGramophone and movies were merely the mechanization of speech and gesture. But the radio and TV were not just the electronification of speech and gesture but the electronification of the entire range of human personal expressiveness. With electronification the flow is taken out of the wire and into the vacuum tube circuit, which confers freedom and flexibility such as are in metaphor and in words themselves.
