amusing quotes

Somehow, I had never heard of Marshall McLuhan. More research is needed, but I might have to go find one of his books in the near future.

Choice quotes from wikiquote:

"What is very little understood about the electronic age is that it angelizes man, disembodies him. Turns him into software." (1971)

"Jobs are finished; role-playing has taken over; the job is a passe entity. The job belonged to the specialist. The kids know that they no longer live in a specialist world; you cannot have a goal today. You cannot say, "I'm going to start here and I'm going to work for the next three years and I'm going to go all that distance." Every kid knows that within three years, everything will have changed including himself and the goal." (1971)
