The TV thing is very, very polluting. It goes right into
the nervous system. The problem is how literate is
your society, your family circle, your immediate
circle? Your child is coming out in an intensely
literate world, so he can take a fair amount of TV
without too much harm. But to the ordinary kid
without a lot of literacy, TV will just turn off any
possibility of left hemisphere.
Maclean’s , March 7, 1977, quoted in Letters of
Marshall McLuhan, (Toronto, 1987), p. 177.
