Google once honored the Canadian philosopher and media theorist Marshall McLuhan with a so-called “Google Doodle” for predicting the internet’s invention in 1962.
McLuhan’s work was so influential that he coined many of the phrases people use to talk about the internet today: “the medium is the message” and “surfing” the web. He also predicted that the internet would transform the world into a “global village.” But McLuhan never guessed that a single company might become that village’s gatekeeper and use its power to become the wealthiest person in town.
