A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

What has happened to the movie since television is better known than what happened to the book after the newspaper, to the book after movies, radio or TV… and if studied not as a change in our view of the movies but as a change in the uses and forms of the movie, much can be learned about the movie, and about television and movie at the same time.
