A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

HARLEY PARKER: I once gave a program in Wayne State and we did a fade-out. That is, we photographed a book page with the lines of type and the title, and then we faded that into a classroom, and there was scarcely any difference. There were still lines of type and the teacher’s desk was a title. Then we faded that into parking lots where you had all the rows of cars. Then into a supermarket shelf and it was the same thing.
