	Eye - Marshall McLuhan Meltdown - 03.27.97
		At Black Creek Pioneer Village last week a couple of hundred people got together to exchange ideas about the fascinating work of the Canadian communications theorist Marshall McLuhan.
		Indeed, the group at Black Creek seemed united by two things -- interest in McLuhan and endemic fear and loathing of contemporary technology and media culture.
		Aside from the expression and idea of "the global village," McLuhan's best-known phrase is "the medium is the message." This stems from his early theory that the medium of communication -- speech, print, radio, telegraph, telephone, TV, etc. -- actually shapes a message sent and received in that medium.
