Revision as of 07:54, 23 April 2015
Born: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
July 21, 1911
Died: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
December 31, 1980 [1]
Marshall McLuhan[1] was a Canadian philosopher and father to the study of the digital media generation. He is considered one of the most influential and controversial intellectuals in the new wave of academic and technological understanding. He noted that the differences in human perspectives are not solely judged upon ideas, but that technology plays a vital role as well."The medium is the message" [2] is the most notorious phrase created by McLuhan to summarize his ideals on the role of a message and its relationship with the choice of medium. McLuhan stressed the importance in knowing the purpose behind a message and appropriately delivering it - digital literacy[3]. He wanted to know the HOW aspects more than the WHAT ideas about a medium's structure.
McLuhan plays a prominent role in the formation and development of digital media, which has now burgeoned into a entirely separate topic itself, as AdWeek reports that digital media will "surpass total TV by 2018" [4]. He created a platform for media thinking and advanced the 20th century into a new dimension of thought.

McLuhan and his oldest son, Eric McLuhan [10], worked together on a project to create a construction of his ideas in the 1970s. The ideas were organized and grouped into the "4 Laws of Media" 4 Laws of Media:
- every technology[11]
- 1) enhances part of our culture
- 2) obsolesces aspects previously enhanced
- 3) retrieves elements previously obsolesced
- 4) reverses or "flips" into something else when pushed to the extreme
The current program continues to operate at the University of Toronto. The goal of the institute is to facilitate knowledge about technological effects on culture and society from a "theoretical and practical" [12] perspective.

This allows anyone, from fans to students, to be able to capture the style of McLuhan's lecture online. He continues to prosper after his death as he convinced public opinion to have a "questioning" mentality on the reasoning for any situation involving a medium. McLuhan even has his own Twitter [15] account that consists of his famous quotes and any news relating to himself.
