Thoughts on an empty space
As the world kept him thinking in turns so would the blank, empty, undiluted space in the upper right corner of his unimaginative American blog. It left itself for last - as if it knew it was much too smart for him - as if the search bar that had once been there was an overture to another space in time - as if that corner meant more than it really did.
It scares me sometimes… the degree to which McLuhan nailed it. His take on how media and the electronic age were/are re-shaping the human experience was so profoundly accurate at such an early point in time one has to wonder whether or not he fell from the future.
