Herbert Marshall McLuhan (1911 –1980)

 Canadian philosopher 
of communication
theory and a public
intellectual. 
Two famous books by Marshal McLuhan

 The Gutenberg Galaxy: The making of

Typographic Man(1962)

 Understanding Media: The extensions of Men

 Definition of a global village
 The whole world considered as being closely
 connected by modern telecommunications 
 and as being
interdependent economically, socially, and 
 politically 
Global Village concept
 "Global Village" can be used to describe
the Internet and World Wide Web. On the Internet,
physical distance is even less of a hindrance to the
real-time communicative activities of people, and
therefore social spheres are greatly expanded by the
openness of the web and the ease at which people
can search for online communities and interact with
others who share the same interests and concerns.

 Therefore, this technology fosters the idea of a

conglomerate yet unified global community.
 According to McLuhan, the enhanced "electric speed
in bringing all social and political functions together in
a sudden implosion has heightened human
awareness of responsibility to an intense degree." 

 Increased speed of communication and the ability of

people to read about, spread, and react to global
news quickly, forces us to become more involved
with one another from various social groups and
countries around the world and to be more aware of
our global responsibilities.
 Similarly, web-connected computers enable people to
link their web sites together. This new reality has
implications for forming new sociological structures
within the context of culture.

 Contemporary analysts question the causes of

changes in community and its consequences some
potentially new sociological structure. Most of them
have pointed out the fact that the increased velocity
of transactions has fostered interact ional density,
making social networks a technical catalyst for social
change.
 Across the global village people have reached out
and transcended their neighborhood.

 They are involved in complex community networks

stretching across cities, nations, and oceans. Yet the
ease with which telecommunications connect friends
of friends may also increase the density of
interconnections within already existing social
clusters.
