A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

“With the proliferation of multimedia in our time, there is a new consensus that some manner of media ecology and control be put into action; but against this proposal there is a negative and hidden factor in the stem world. Edward Hall, the anthropologist, has drawn attention to this negative attitude in the Western world in a recent study, The Fourth Dimension in Architecture: The Impact of Building on Man´s Behavior.
