He didn’t mind talking abut it, but he didn’t want
to use it. I think that I had—that I am just the same
about technology as I was about that alphabet

For me hands-on experimentation is key. Of course,
McLuhan was one of the most honest intellectuals
I’ve ever met. It’s just that my way of looking at

Belgian upbringing, you know. We are very much
our feet on the ground in some funny way. I have
to have a sense that what I am talking about is
experimented on right here. And that we can have
proof for it.
