How would you characterize the famous figure of “Typographic Man” in Marshall McLuhan’s theory of technological innovation??
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:
McLuhan argued that printing fostered linear modes of thinking about ordered sequences of events that in turn led to thinking about cause and effect, then science, then the modern industrial world. Typographic Man still has many advantages in our society. People who are good at deep involvement and comprehension in reading still tend to do better in school, particularly college, which is still the main avenue to the best-paying jobs in our society.
