Marshall McLuhan & the Internet as Global Village :
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 mans
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
McLuhans early predictions. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
