Marshall McLuhan

Ok, well I should probarbly get a coppy of "War and Peace in the global village", so that I can get some quotes, I think I may also read from "understanding the media" and re-use any relevant quotes that I found In that, might be a good short cut for reinforcing any idears, but I guess that they both come from the same writter so I might need to broaden my reeding.

Well I dont know if you have read any of his stuff but heres a quick synopsis of what I think "Understanding the Media" is about.
McLuhan wrote about how any given Media or technologys affect uppon our habbits and our lifestyles, is theat medium/ technologies message to uss.

This fits into the category of the electric light changing our living habbits by providing perpetual day. Or the way mobile phones or the internett changed our communications abbilities, and how that has sped upp bussiness etc.
