From the Paper:

"Electronic communication, beginning with the telegraph, then the telephone, radio, movies, television, and now E-mail, faxes, and the Internet, extends the ability to communicate, both through space and in time. In the 1960's when Marshall McLuhan published The Global Village, he saw that the advent of electronic communication would bring about a change as great as that of the printing press (Beabout 2000). Just as the advent of literacy changed the way humans communicate, electronic communication allows a new form of awareness about the world in which we live."
