1. How did McLuhan still have such an influence even years after his passing?
2. Why did people dislike McLuhan so much?
3. Despite help tech evolve, why would be againist if he was still alive today?
4. What made McLuhan go into media?
5. Why was McLuhan also so invested in the gutenberg galaxy?
6. I like how he described the Guntenberg age as the king was printed word and the queen as a eye.
7. Why would McLuhan call his way thinking probing?
8. Why were many people irrated with his way of thinking?
9. A lot of his crtitics would often heckle him with questions and he would respond even when on the streets.
10. What does McLuhan mean by medium be the message?
One of McLuhan’s favorite retorts to hecklers was “You think my fallacy
is all wrong?” But in the film, McLuhan’s “probing” question was
changed into a statement: “You mean my fallacy is all wrong.”
I like how he answered the hecklers like he was wrong but was very sarcastic about it to the heckler. My question is that did he always respond like this to hecklers.

Hello Parmbir,
Hope all is well, I enjoyed reading your blog, and also have similar questions and thoughts as I read certain topics that he mentioned. I also asked myself what the reasoning behind why Mcluhan went into media and what connection and thoughts drifted him to that standpoint. Great job!!
greetings Parmbir,
I hoped you enjoyed the reading as much as I did, the way the reading is set up with pictures and uniquely placed sentences makes the reading quite engaging in my opinion. McLuhan’s philosophies are interesting and really helps people take a better look at not only themselves, but the world as a whole.
Parmbir,
You’re off to a good start. Like me, you need to add more to the piece. Might I suggest that you tell us more about your native language and how it shaped your early years.
