MORE MCLUHAN ON WEBLOGS: “Weblogs make it possible to present instant recaps of ongoing events a sort of “story so far” that used to sit above serial publications. As in football instant replays, the recap or recorso draws attention to processes rather than product or even goal. The audience is involved in the game in a totally new way a way that changes the game itself. — 1964″ (From: “Essential McLuhan“)

Like I did in my essay on Web logs, I just substituted “Weblogs” for “Xerox” and it’s amazing how precient ol’ McLuhan sounds!
