[ send me this paper ]
It can be argued that author Marshall McLuhan was a man before his times, and his social perspectives on the emerging trends in technological development and man's interactions with the media were considered copious at best when he developed his premises in the early 1960s. But the transformation of the world through the integration of the media and technology and the emergence of the Internet as the foremost component of the global community underscores the primary arguments that McLuhan developed. This 6 page paper considers the major premises of McLuhan and then reflects the nature of current society and the impacts of McLuhan's early predictions. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
