Watch Marshall McLuhan: Out of Orbit (here’s the link for the documentary on YouTube:
- What are the three most important ideas you took away from these sources? Find a quote that expresses it in either the documentary or the book, and then translate them into your own words.

- Do McLuhan’s theories seem rather dull, pretty obvious or completely revolutionary? Choose a position and explain your choice.
The first prompt can be answered in a bullet point format, but the last two require at least a paragraph per response.
