Video of Marshall McLuhan from a 1960 recording. "These new media have made our world into a single unit. The world is now like a continually sounding tribal drum, where everybody gets the message all the time. A princess gets married in England and - boom boom boom! - we all hear about it; an earthquake in North Africa; a Hollywood star gets drunk - away go the drums again."
