MARSHALL MCLUHAN : 

MARSHALL MCLUHAN WORDS & WARNINGS

Slide 2: 

In the electronic age we wear all mankind as our skin

Slide 3: 

Everything is changing -- you, your family, your neighborhood, your education, your job, your government, your relation to "the others." And they're changing dramatically.

Slide 4: 

The medium, or process, of our time--electric technology--is reshaping and restructuring patterns of social interdependence and every aspect of our personal life.

Slide 5: 

The new electronic interdependence recreates the world in the image of a global village.

Slide 6: 

Mud sometimes gives the illusion of depth.

Slide 7: 

A light bulb creates an environment by its mere presence.

Slide 8: 

The trouble with a cheap, specialized education is that you never stop paying for it.

Slide 9: 

We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us.

Slide 10: 

It's misleading to suppose there's any basic difference between education & entertainment. This distinction merely relieves people of the responsibility of looking onto the matter.

Slide 11: 

If it works, it's obsolete

Slide 12: 

There are no remote places. Under instant circuitry, nothing is remote in time or in space. It's now

Slide 13: 

By involving all men in all men, by the electric extension of their own nervous systems, the new technology turns the figure of the primitive society into a universal ground that buries all previous figures.

Slide 14: 

There are no passengers on spaceship earth. We are all crew.

Slide 15: 

People don’t actually read newspapers. They step into them every morning like a hot bath.

Slide 17: 

Tomorrow is our permanent address.

Slide 18: 

All advertising advertises advertising

Slide 19: 

This information is top security. When you have read it, destroy yourself.

Slide 20: 

With the return to simultaneity we enter the tribal and acoustic world once more. Globally.

Slide 21: 

One of the nicest things about being big is the luxury of thinking little.

Slide 22: 

At the speed of light, policies and political parties yield place to charismatic images.

Slide 23: 

When a thing is current, it creates currency.

Slide 24: 

The ignorance of how to use new knowledge stockpiles exponentially.

Slide 25: 

“I may be wrong, but I’m never in doubt.”

Slide 26: 

A road is a flattened-out wheel, rolled up in the belly of an airplane.

Slide 27: 

Politics offers yesterday’s answers to today’s questions.

Slide 28: 

The specialist is one who never makes small mistakes while moving toward the grand fallacy.

Slide 29: 

A road is a flattened-out wheel, rolled up in the belly of an airplane.

Slide 30: 

The answers are always inside the problem, not outside.

Slide 31: 

Today each of us lives several hundred years in a decade.

Slide 32: 

With telephone and TV it is not so much the message as the sender that is“sent.”

Slide 33: 

Only puny secrets need protection. Big discoveries are protected by publicincredulity.

Slide 34: 

Why is it so easy to acquire the solutions of past problems and so difficult to solve current ones?

Slide 35: 

Today the business of business is becoming the constant invention of new business.

Slide 36: 

The price of eternal vigilance is indifference.

Slide 37: 

The specialist is one who never makes small mistakes while moving toward the grand fallacy.

Slide 38: 

At the speed of light, policies and political parties yield place to charismatic images.

Slide 39: 

At the speed of light, policies and political parties yield place to charismatic images.

Slide 40: 

One thing about which fish know exactly nothing is water, since they have no anti-environment which would enable them to perceive the element they live in.

Slide 41: 

THIS PRESENTATION HAS NOT BEEN “COOL”. RATHER “HOT”.
