A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

It might be well to point out that the two hemispheres are strangely and consistently lineal on the left, and simultaneous acoustic on the right. The left hemisphere is a visual hemisphere in the sense that space is a visual space, and the right hemisphere is acoustic because it deals with the simultaneous, patterns and overall holistic field, arrangements, and so on.
