my favorite marshall mcluhan quotes
DESCRIPTION
This is a collection of my favorite Marshall McLuhan quotes. McLuhan was a visionary thinker who published a lot on 'the new media' in his age (= tv, radio, and later the computer). His insights are impressively transferable to our current web-revolutions. (DISCLAIMER: as far as I know, the pictures in this presentation may be used for this purpose (source = www.sxc.hu).
