Famous quotes containing the words space, technology and/or center:
“In bourgeois society, the French and the industrial revolution transformed the authorization of political space. The political revolution put an end to the formalized hierarchy of the ancien regimé.... Concurrently, the industrial revolution subverted the social hierarchy upon which the old political space was based. It transformed the experience of society from one of vertical hierarchy to one of horizontal class stratification.”

—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“I am the center of the world, but the control panel seems to be somewhere else.”
