| Quotation | Reading Marshall McLuhan Understanding Media. I think it is very important indeed for monks to go into this. Critically important for the whole question of ddaptation. I would like to write to him - would like in fact to go to Toronto, but this is hopeless. It remains a very important question. I may try to invite him down. Certainly McLuhan brings home to me the fact that I do not really know what is going on. Doubtless Conjectures (or the other diary) may appeal to a lot of people who, like myself, are essentially book-types. But does it have any real understanding of new developments? Possibly very little. |
