I do not move along lines. I use points like the dots
in a wirephoto. That is why I must repeat and
repeat my points. Again, insights are not points of
view. I do not have a point of view on anything. I am
interested only in modalities and processes. . . . My
main theme is the extension of the nervous system
in the electric age and thus the complete break with
5000 years of mechanical technology. This I state
over and over again. I do not say whether this is a
good or bad thing. To do so would be meaningless
and arrogant.
Marshall McLuhan to Robert Fulford, June 1, 1964,
Letters of Marshall McLuhan , (Toronto, 1987), p. 300.
