A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

Today, the satellite environment has scrapped the entire nature process of the planet. This was not the result of an inadvertent blooper but of a relentless pressure for more speed of information. The resulting increase of environmental information has in effect scrapped everything known as human organizations while at the same time retrieving innumerable forgotten forms of human organizations from the remote and prehistoric past. The things we assumed as the ground for human existence have simply been cancelled.
