Marshall McLuhan’s comments are frequently drawn on to explain technical developments and social impact of the internet. CBC has an archive of 18 clips (9 audio, 9 video) of McLuhan expressing commentary on media, books, the “tribal drum” of humanity, and learning. Well worth spending time reflecting on how many of our discussions today on learning were echoed many decades ago (via Howard R. Engel).
