The Prophet of the Digital Age: Marshall McLuhan

Long before the internet, Canadian philosopher Marshall McLuhan foresaw its impact. His groundbreaking theories on media, summarized in the phrases 'the medium is the message' and 'global village,' predicted how electronic communication would reshape human society. His work remains essential for understanding our hyper-connected modern world. #Canada #McLuhan #Philosophy #MediaTheory 🇹🇩

KonekivÀÀri Suomen sodissa | Kalle Haatanen

Kun konekivÀÀri ilmestyi sotakentille, sitÀ pidettiin jopa sodat lopettavana aseena - eihÀn kukaan voisi kÀyttÀÀ noin julman tehokasta keinoa tappaa. Sotahistorioitsija Simo Liikanen valottaa Suomen sodankÀyntiÀ tÀmÀn teknologisen innovaation perspektiivistÀ. KonekivÀÀrin tuhovoimaa vÀhensi sen alkuaikojen piirteet. Laite painoi hirveÀsti eikÀ sopinut hyökkÀyssotaan. Puolustustaisteluissa se oli tehokas ja tuhoisa.

Understanding Media : The Extensions of Man

The medium is the message.

"In the electric age, when our central nervous system is technologically extended to involve us in the whole of mankind and to incorporate the whole of mankind in us, we necessarily participate, in depth, in the consequences of our every action. It is no longer possible to adopt the aloof and dissociated role of the literate Westerner." (p. 4) Herbert Marshall #McLuhan (1980 passed)
