Is The World Really Becoming A Global
Village?
    "After
three thousand years of explosion, by means of fragmentary and mechanical
technologies, the Western world is imploding. During the mechanical ages we had
extended our bodies in space. Today, after more than a century of electric
technology, we have extended our central nervous system itself in a global
embrace, abolishing both space and time as far as our planet is concerned. Rapidly, we approach the final phase of the extensions
of man - the technological simulation of consciousness, when the creative
process of knowing will be collectively and corporately extended to the whole
of human society, much as we have already extended our senses and our nerves by
the various media." (Marshall McLuhan, Understanding
Media: The Extensions of Man,
1964)
