* Marshall McLuhan, Canadian philosopher, sociologist, and the father of media studies, may well have been a living [[Trope Codifier]] for [[Post Modernism]]. Aside from coining the phrase "The Global Village", he also had a lot of really ''out there'' theories. He stated that "The Medium is the message, and therefore the content is the audience". He believed that light bulbs were an information medium, and proclaimed "I refuse to appear on television, except on television" meaning that, if interviewed, he'd never set foot in a TV Studio himself, but rather talk through a TV screen. One can only imagine what he'd think of Troping... We know [[New Media Are Evil|exactly what he thought of the Internet.]] Remember, the term "global village" was an insult. |
