McLuhan Reconsidered
This is an essay I wrote in 94. It's one of the first things I put up on my Web site in 95. I
worked on it for a long time.
It remains one of the most popular pages on my site and is read in a few courses in a few
countries. The courses are either on McLuhan or the Internet, or communications theory, or
Director, or Internet sociology, or visual language…it is interesting the range of courses
this essay appeals to.
It discusses some of McLuhan's main ideas.
It's broken into two files because at the time I made it in 95, my html editor would not handle
files larger than 32 kb.

PS: There's an earlier piece I wrote called 'Reading McLuhan' (1988) at
