McLuhan was right.



Compare this to the typical Tube feed from CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, & etc. with multiple windows, scrolling headlines, video & Web feeds, etc. McLuhan was right, we change to accommodate a new "sense ratio" in the "electric age." This from Collier's 1966 Yearbook Covering the Year 1965. Maybe this was the first split-screen broadcast?
