A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

The industrial age built more than its share of…boxes. It split class from class, job from job, profession from profession, work from play; divorced the self from the reality and joy of the present moment; fragmented the senses from the emotions from the intellect; and, perhaps most consequential of all, created highly specialized and standardized men and women.
