A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

But is it not this very shift in our society which makes the young so resentful of an educational establishment in which they are consumers only? They live with a technology which insists that they be co-producers in the very act of learning. They experience only a negative motivation with regard to a curriculum which ignores the undeveloped countries of our minds and which looks on the new media as the source not only of culture but of trash.
