The single most important name in CCIT. His "//The Medium is the Message"// is the iconic phrase of communications. McLuhan's ideas were far ahead of his time and his books have given way to much of the content we study in communications. //He was once referred to as the "Oracle of the Electronic Age", As director of the Center for Culture and Technology at the University of Toronto, McLuhan had become the "guru" of media culture.
