Technology and the self Marshall McLuhan:
“All media are extensions of some human faculty – psychic or social.” The Medium is the Massage (1968)
“Any extension, whether of skin, hand, or foot, affects the whole psychic and social complex.” Understanding Media (1964)
Technology and society "At a certain stage of their development, the
material productive forces of society come into conflict with … the property relations within which they have been at work hitherto. From forms of development of the forces of production these relations turn into their fetters. Then begins an epoch of social revolution. With the change of the economic foundation the entire immense superstructure is more or less rapidly transformed.“ Karl Marx (1859)
