“So "the medium is the message" is not a simple remark, and l've always hesitated to explain it. It really means a hidden environment of services created by an innovation, and the hidden environment of services is the thing that changes people. It is the environment that changes people, not the technology.”
Marshal McLuhan

“Once I was a scuba diver in the sea of words. Now I zip along the surface like a guy on a Jet Ski.”
