Summary:

Sixties media philosopher Marshall McLuhan predicted the coming of a Global Village in which telecommunications technology would figuratively shrink the world. Satellites, the Internet, multinational communications giants, and the ubiquity of televisions and computers have more than helped realize his prophecy. This program looks at a variety of issues surrounding the growth of media in the era of the international audience.
