It should accordingly be possible at least to maintain and encourage cultural diversity to a degree by preserving the cultural characteristics of the different social groups: and in the same way as gene banks of plant species are created to prevent the impoverishment of biological diversity and the impairment of our earthly environment, we must, if we are to safeguard the vitality of our societies, preserve at the very least the living memory of irreplaceable

Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man and transformed himself from an obscure academic into a star. Oracular, gnomic, and mind-bending, the book was a perfect product of the sixties, that now-distant decade of acid trips and moon shots, inner and outer voyaging. Understanding Media was at heart a prophecy, and what it prophesied was the dissolution of the linear mind. McLuhan declared that the “electric media” of the twentieth century— telephone, radio, movies, television—were breaking the tyranny

He bid them notice how the town of Havre divided Upper from Lower Normandy. In Lower Normandy the shore

cities are not showing any significant increase in population and others are in decline. This is partly as a result of the ‘counterurbanisation’ process where people migrate from the central city areas to smaller settlements and rural areas in the outer parts of urban regions, with improved transport connections allowing longdistance commuting.
