"All media are extensions of some
human faculty -- psychic or physical. The wheel ... is an extension
of the foot ... the book is an extension of the eye ... clothing, an
extension of the skin ... electric circuitry, an extension of the central
nervous system. Media, by altering the environment, evoke in us unique
ratios of sense perceptions. The extension of any one sense alters the
way we think and act -- the way we perceive the world. When these ratios
change, men change."
-- Marshall McLuhan & Quentin Fiore,
The Medium is the Massage,
(NY: Bantam) 1967,
ps. 26-41.
