Marshall McLuhan & Technology

What this episode covers

Ian and I discuss McLuhan’s difficult Playboy interview where he answers questions about his philosophy of technology.  At the core of our concern is how to live well, connected to people and ourselves as embodied beings, as information technology advances.  Perhaps appropriate to the topic, we do struggle some to get ahold of his philosophy and how to go forward with this concern.     McLuhan’s 1969 Playboy Interview: https://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/~rogaway/classes/188/spring07/mcluhan.pdf   Thank you for the likes!
