Poetry and the arts can't exist in America. Mere exposure to the arts does nothing for a mentality which is incorrigibly dialectical. The vital tensions and nutritive action of ideogram
remain inaccessible to this state of mind.

Character no longer is shaped ...

Character no longer is shaped by only two earnest, fumbling experts. Now all the world's a sage.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

All media work us over complet...

All media work us over completely. They are so pervasive in their personal, political, economic, aesthetic, psychological, moral, ethical, and social consequences that they leave no part of us untouched, unaffected, unaltered. The medium is the massage. Any understanding of social and cultural change is impossible without a knowledge of the way media work as environments. All media are extensions of some human faculty - psychic or physical.

Physiologically, man in the no...

Physiologically, man in the normal use of technology (or his variously extended body) is perpetually modified by it and in turn finds ever new ways of modifying his technology. Man becomes, as it were, the sex organs of the machine world, as the bee of the plant world, enabling it to fecundate and to evolve ever new forms. The machine world reciprocates man's love by expediting his wishes and desires, namely, in providing him with wealth.

Computers can do better than ever what needn't be done at all. Making sense is still a human monopoly.

We look at the present through a rear view mirror. We march backwards into the future.

When information overload occurs, pattern recognition is how to determine truth.

When things come at you very fast, naturally you lose touch with yourself.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

I expect to see the coming decades transform the planet into an art form; the new man, linked in a cosmic harmony that transcends time and space, will sensuously caress and mold and pattern every facet of the terrestrial artifact as if it were a work of art, and man himself will become an organic art form.
