Marshall McLuhan's key ideas are summarized in 3 sentences: Societies are shaped more by the means of communication between humans than by the actual content being communicated. Modern media have created a tribal bond similar to family where closed communities are the norm. McLuhan believed that in the modern world, humans have become information rather than physical beings translated through various media.
