Let's talk about McLuhan's theory of extensions and amputations. Most of us would agree that the invention of movable type and printing has been responsible for much social and cultural progress. In McLuhan's model, the development of movable type can be seen as a key "extension" of human vision. However, McLuhan proposes that "extensions" are always accompanied by "amputations."
