Marshall McLuhanOurs is a brand-new world of allatonceness [all-at-once-ness]. 'Time' has ceased, 'space' has vanished. We now live in a global village ... a simultaneous happening. ... The new electronic interdependence recreates the world in the image of a global village.
Marshall McLuhanI am resolutely opposed to all innovation, all change, but I am determined to understand whatโs happening. Because I donโt choose just to sit and let the juggernaut roll over me. Many people seem to think that if you talk about something recent, youโre in favor of it. The exact opposite is true in my case. Anything I talk about is almost certainly something Iโm resolutely against. And it seems to me the best way to oppose it is to understand it. And then you know where to turn off the buttons.
