The new media are not ways of relating to us the 'real' world; they are the real world and they reshape what remains of the old world at will.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

In big industry new ideas are invited to rear their heads so they can be clobbered at once. The idea department of a big firm is a sort of lab for isolating dangerous viruses.

Even mud gives the illusion of depth.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

Gramophone and movies were me...

Gramophone 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.

When information rubs against...

When information rubs against information the results are startling and effective. The perrenial quest for involvement, fill-in, takes many forms.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

[Cameras] tend to turn people...

[Cameras] tend to turn people into things and the photograph extends and multiplies the human image to the proportions of mass-produced merchandise and, [in the age of photography] the world itself becomes a sort of museum of objects that have been encountered before in some other museum and to say that the camera cannot lie is merely to underline the multiple deceits that are now practiced in its name.

Einstein pronounced the doom of continuous or 'rational' space, and the way was made clear for Picasso and the Marx Brothers and Mad magazine.

The public has yet to see TV as TV. Broadcasters have no awareness of its potential. The movie people are just beginning to get a grasp on film.

Our electrically-configured world has forced us to move from the habit of data classification to the mode of pattern recognition. We can no longer build serially, block-by-block, step-by-step, because instant communication insures that all factors of the environment and of experience co-exist in a state of active interplay.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

Since with electricity we extend our central nervous system globally, instantly interrelating every human experience.

...the logic of the photograph...

...the logic of the photograph is neither verbal nor syntactical, a condition which renders literary culture quite helpless to cope with the photograph.

Positively, the effect of speeding up temporal sequence is to abolish time, much as the telegraph and cable abolished space. Of course, the photograph does both.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

The movie stars and matinee idols are put into the public domain by photography. They become dreams that money can buy. They can be bought and thumbed more easily than public prostitutes.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

Photography turns people into things and their image into a mass consumer product.

Nobody can commit photography alone.
