Marshall McLuhan - Wikipedia
July 21, 1911 – December 31, 1980, a Canadian
professor, philosopher, and
public intellectual. His
work is one of the cornerstones of the study of
media theory, as well as
having practical applications in the advertising and television industries. ...
McLuhan is known for coining the expression "the
medium is the message" and the term
global village, and for
predicting the
World Wide Web almost 30
years before it was invented. He was a fixture in media discourse in the late
1960s, though his influence began to wane in the early 1970s. In the years after
his death, he continued to be a controversial figure in academic circles. With
the arrival of the
Internet and the
World Wide Web, however,
interest was renewed in his work and perspective.
