Marshall McLuhan, What Are You Doin'?*

Before he changed his name to Eminem and began a rapping career, Marshall McLuhan predicted a lot of what would happen on the internet and in blogging. The trick was, dude predicted this in 1964. Anyway, I don't have world and time for you to read "Understanding Media" or his other books, because I need you reading blogs. You must, however, read this Larry Press essay. It will tell you most of what you need to know.

* First spoken by Henry Gibson
