Not sure why your reading of Mcluhan would lead you to that conclusion, he gave countless warnings about how electronic media would destroy the societal institutions founded on literacy and the printing press.
"Instead of tending towards a vast Alexandrian library the world has become a computer, an electronic brain, exactly as an infantile piece of science fiction. And as our senses have gone outside us, Big Brother goes inside. So, unless aware of this dynamic, we shall at once move into a phase of panic terrors, exactly befitting a small world of tribal drums, total interdependence, and superimposed co-existence."
–Marshall McLuhan, The Gutenberg Galaxy, 1962
