Technology Shapes Human Affairs

“We shape our tools and then our tools shape us.”—JM Culkin paraphrasing Marshall McLuhan, 1967.

“It is the medium that shapes and controls the scale and form of human association and action. 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. The ‘message’ of any medium or technology is the change of scale or pace or pattern that it introduces into human affairs.” – Marshall McLuhan
