A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

Again, as the economy moves more and more into the electrical orbit of programmed information, production is oriented increasingly toward service. Hardware becomes software. This process appears sufficiently in the world of advertising. As the means of advertising have greatly enlarged, the images created by advertising become an ever larger portion of the needs and satisfactions of the public.
