The Medium is The Message - Marshall McLuhan (youtube)

A man that saw the world in centuries and foresaw what technology would do to humanity in the one ahead of him. Many gems pop up here, I don't think the man would have minded if you kept it in the background as you multi-tasked.

"Advertising is a folk art" coming from him it makes me wonder what happened and how the whole Madison Avenue culture became like a spying and spamming machine.

Spamming and hacking are modern folk arts and start off in the equivalent of cottages before they are industrialized :)

I think it's the same thing McLuhan missed, that broadcast would evolve into 2 way communications and when that happens its a whole different set of assumptions. Everything McLuhan talks about assumes a 1 way channel and a population of observers.
