"My main theme is the extension of the nervous system in the electric age, and thus, the complete break with five thousand years of mechanical technology. This I state over and over again. I do not say whether it is a good or bad thing. To do so would be meaningless and arrogant."

Marshal McLuhan letter to Robert Fulford, 1964

"I beat my machine it's a part of me it's inside of me…"

Beau Lotto The Infinite Monkey Cage: Perception (25 November 2013)

"Every kid knows jobs are finished; role-playing has taken over; the job is a passé entity. The job belonged to the specialist. The kids know that they no longer live in a specialist world; you cannot have a goal today. You cannot say, ‘I'm going to start here and I'm going to work for the next three years and I'm going to go all that distance.’ Every kid knows that within three years, everything will have changed — including himself and the goal."

Marshal McLuhan with A.F. Knowles, 1971
