A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

A few years ago, the car was made to bring the farmer to town. As roads improved, the town went to the country. As cars and roads improved, the highway was no longer a link with the country but a substitute for the count ry. A spin in the country now means a spin on the highway.
