In a sort of correspondance to my previous post, due to social networking, we are now connected like never before. According to a guy named Marshall McLuhan (he was a bit before our time), the world, largely due to advancements in technology, was becoming a "global village." This term is used many times throughout my paper. I'd say this theory holds very true! I mean, the video posted earlier in my blog (Social Media Revolution 2011), offers the statistic that if Facebook were a country, it would be the world's third largest by comparison. McLuhan stated in Understanding Media circa 1964 that “Today, after more than a century of electric technology, we have extended our central nervous system itself in a global embrace, abolishing both space and time as far as our planet is concerned.” Nearly five decades prior to this current "social media revolution" and forming of a "global village," McLuhan, essentially, predicted our future. How 'bout them apples?
