	Marshall McLuhan: "The Medium is the Message"
		The subject that would occupy most of McLuhan's career was the task of understanding the effects of technology as it related to popular culture, and how this in turn affected human beings and their relations with one another in communities.
		McLuhan is announcing what Lewis H. Lapham says is a world of people who worship the objects of their own invention in the form of fax machines and high speed computers, and accept the blessings of Coca-Cola and dresses by Donna Karan as the mark of divinity.
		McLuhan died in 1980 and was beginning to see the first fruits of the television generations as well as the fulfillment of some of his predictions.

	Biographical Profile: Marshall McLuhan
		Canadian philosopher Marshall McLuhan, famous for gnomic utterances such as "the user is the content", foresaw an information millennium in which print was obsolete and we all lived - apparently quite happily - in a global village.
		McLuhan converted to Roman Catholicism in 1937 and, as his letters suggest, was deeply influenced by the writings of St Thomas Acquinas.
		McLuhan's technological determinism - a reworking of Marx for the age of electricity rather than steam - encouraged a vision of inevitable progression to a communication millennium that would be communitarian and borderless.

	Marshall McLuhan Foresees Global Village
		Marshall McLuhan was the first person to popularize the concept of a global village and to consider its social effects.
		McLuhan chose the insightful phrase "global village" to highlight his observation that an electronic nervous system (the media) was rapidly integrating the planet -- events in one part of the world could be experienced from other parts in real-time, which is what human experience was like when we lived in small villages.
		McLuhan's ideas have permeated the way we in the global village think about technology and media to such an extent that we are generally no longer aware of the revolutionary effect his concepts had when they were first introduced.

	McLuhan, Marshall
		Marshall McLuhan is perhaps one of the best known media theorists and critics of this era.
		McLuhan was a technological determinist who credited the electronic media with the ability to exact profound social, cultural and political influences.
		The McLuhanism with the loudest echo in contemporary popular culture is the concept of the "global village." It is a metaphor most invoked by the telecommunications industry to suggest the ability of new technologies to electronically link the world.

	Who was Marshall McLuhan?
		Herbert Marshall McLuhan was born July 21, 1911 Edmonton Alberta of Scottish-Irish Episcopalean heritage.
		McLuhan provoked both the intellectual and the commoner, both phobe and phile by saying that commercials are worth studying; that other cultures from other times offer the best insights into our modern technology laden lifestyle; that in recalling the lost original uses of old media we begin to recover their possible inventive value.
		Marshall concluded we are emerging as a world-wide society electronically connected in a global village where our personalities exist at the speed of light.

	Marshall McLuhan
		Marshall McLuhan was born in Edmonton, Alta. His father, Herbert Marshall McLuhan, was a real-estate and insurance salesman.
		McLuhan argued that technology is an extension of the human nervous system and that technological changes create new environments of sense and feeling altering gradually patterns of perception.
		McLuhan's theories were widely discussed in the 1960s and 1970s, but now his work is little read and cited, although his aphoristic style produced many slogans widely adopted to common usage.

	McLuhan Reconsidered -- Jim Andrews
		McLuhan's does not appear to be a Humanist vision in that regard, for humanists stress the primacy of humans as the proper focus of attention in such questions, not technology.
		McLuhan believed that culture is affected by technology via the impact on social structures but also by the ways in which it changes us in a more personal fashion.
		McLuhan and Ong identify the sort of analytical intelligence tested for in IQ tests and demanded in western cultures with literacy.

	Marshall McLuhan
		McLuhan is suggesting that through our 'extended senses' we experience events, as far away as the other side of the world, as if we were there in the same physical space.
		McLuhan writes: ‘Today,electronics and automation make mandatory that everybody adjust to the vast global environment as if it were his little home town’ (1968: p.11).
		McLuhan seems to assume that the entire population of the globe is plugged in to communications technology to the same extent.

	Basic Mc Luhan: Marshall McLuhan and the Senses
		McLuhan was a modern master of this form, using words as active principles of discovery.
		McLuhan the poet was naturally a partisan of grammatica, and sought fellow poets of the modern period (Joyce, Eliot, Poe, Mallarmé, Pound) as objects of study.
		McLuhan saw grammatica, dialectic and rhetoric as competing forms, or pitched camps, struggling for sensory dominance, a battle of dispositions based on either perceptual or conceptual habits.

	fUSION Anomaly. Marshall McLuhan
		Born in Edmonton, Alberta, McLuhan was educated at the universities of Manitoba and Cambridge.
		McLuhan also believed that the linking of electronic information media would create an interconnected "global village." As a scholar of the effects of technology on human society, McLuhan is regarded as one of the most important 20th-century communications theorists.
		MCLUHAN: Your question reflects all the institutionalized biases of literate man. Literacy, contrary to the popular view of the "civilizing" process you've just echoed, creates people who are much less complex and diverse than those who develop in the intricate web of oral-tribal societies.

	McLuhan Studies Premiere Issue: On the Ezra Pound/Marshall McLuhan Correspondence
		The question of how McLuhan arrived at this means of applying linguistic and literary analysis to the study of media is answered, in part, in his correspondence with Ezra Pound.
		By November of 1948, McLuhan had come to appreciate more fully the sense in which Pound's Cantos are a kind of detective story; for to discover luminous moments, characters, and situations of human history and arrange them in analogical ratios, one had to be a very erudite and skillful detective indeed.
		It was no accident that a year later McLuhan would offer in a letter to Pound the rough outlines of his book on "the end of the Gutenberg Era" (16 July 1952); for by then he was fully ready to adapt Pound's ideogrammic method to his study of technology and culture.

	Wired 4.01: The Wisdom of Saint Marshall, the Holy Fool
		Marshall McLuhan was born in 1911 and died in 1980.
		McLuhan's slogans "The medium is the message" and "The global village" are recited like mantras in every digital atelier in the world, despite the fact that hardly anyone who quotes McLuhan reads his books.
		The natural incompatibility of originality and academia was probably especially difficult to overcome for McLuhan, who had received his early education in North American public schools, which, then as now, offered few advantages to their most talented students.

	Marshall McLuhan and the WWW: Is the Medium Still the Message? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Marshall - the father - sat politely and indulgently in the audience absorbing the machinations of some 30 of us who were offering opinions and oratory and rhetoric on issues of the day - as seen through the filters of our 11 year old minds.
		McLuhan understands that we react to new media first with terror followed by numbing - this is the classic way mind and body respond to trauma - it how we protect ourselves from the alien.
		McLuhan's fundamental thesis is that we live now in a age dominated by formative and COOL electric media These new media permit us to live -- as our pre-industrial ancestors lived - mythically (I would say virtually) and integrally (in common).

	Marshall McLuhan
		Marshall McLuhan was a Canadian professor of English literature who burst into world prominence as a media guru in the 1960s.
		He claimed, for example, that a story has different meanings depending upon whether it is related orally, written in a book, acted out on the stage, heard on radio, presented on film, viewed on television, or depicted in a comic book.
		McLuhan defended his style by saying that his statements were intended to be "probes" rather than truths.

	On the Media
		BOB GARFIELD: Everybody knows who Marshall McLuhan was --the literature professor and communications theorist wrote his seminal book, Understanding Media, in 1964 and spent the next three decades expounding on the influence of media on the society and the individual psyche.
		MARSHALL McLUHAN: You see the one thing -- when people, ordinary, ordinarily people are trained to try to follow you and to connect everything you say with what they last heard.
		He went on to say that the reason that he called it a global village was that space is reduced to almost nothing, so that you had this sense of being very connected.

		Given the profound influence that the writings and teachings of Marshall McLuhan have had in the Information Age, it is surprising how few people have read anything more than context-free excerpts printed in indecipherable day-glo fonts over a background guaranteed to induce vertigo.
		Measuring the impact of Marshall McLuhan on media studies is akin to measuring the impact of media on man. Modern man's entire scope of understanding is impacted by and funneled through media forms, and the field of media study is almost entirely funneled through the groundbreaking work of Marshall McLuhan.
		McLuhan was not the first to open up the field of media study with the focus on the media rather than content.
