Marshall McLuhan Audios from Bob Dobbs’ Library

Marshall McLuhan & John Culkin at Fordham, 1967

“We are no more prepared to encounter radio and TV in our literate milieu than the native of Ghana is able to cope with the literacy that takes him out of his collective tribal world and beaches him in individual isolation. We are as numb in our new electric world as the native involved in our literate and mechanical culture.”

Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media
