Reading Marshall McLuhan's ideas this
late in the game, they can seem banal because they so accurately
describe the way we live today. Like watching a D. W. Griffith movie
and trying to get your head around a time when a close-up was a big
deal. Two things to remember about him: First off, Canadian. Like
Howie Mandel and Bachman-Turner Overdrive. The second thing is he
predicted the Internet and coined the term Global Village, which you
should think about when you worry about online privacy because one
thing about living in a village is everybody knows everybody else's
business.
