In 1999 I named my consulting company "Electric Speed" (http://electricspeed.com http://electricspeed.com) after reading McLuhan's book... At no period in human culture have men understood the psychic mechanisms involved in invention and technology. Today it is the instant speed of electric information that, for the first time, permits easy recognition of the patterns and the formal contours of change and development. The entire world, past and present, now reveals itself to us like a growing plant in an enormously accelerated movie. Electric speed is synonymous with light and with the understanding of causes. — Marshal McLuhan, Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man (1964)
