A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

The artists have told us that there will be no more consumer packages in education – not at least if education is to have a relevance to our new world. The dialogue will replace the guided tours of data provided by the book as teaching machine. In the dialogue there is no maintaining a point of view, but only the common participation in creating perpetually new insight and understanding in a total field of unified awareness.
