The Search Engine Google is showing this Doodle in many Countries for the Marshall McLuhan’s 106th Birthday on 21st July 2017.
He was a Canadian professor, philosopher, and public intellectual. His mother was a Baptist school teacher who later became an actress; his father was a Methodist and had a real estate business in Edmonton.
His work is viewed as one of the cornerstones of the study of media theory, as well as having practical applications in the advertising and television industries.
He was educated at the University of Manitoba and the University of Cambridge; he began his teaching career as a Professor of English at several universities in the U.S. and Canada before moving to the University of Toronto, where he remained for the rest of his life.
Marshall McLuhan is known for coining the expression "the medium is the message" and the term global village, and for predicting the World Wide Web almost thirty years before it was invented
He was a fixture in media discourse in the late 1960s, though his influence began to wane in the early 1970s
McLuhan's 1942 Cambridge University doctoral dissertation surveys the history of the verbal arts (grammar, logic, and rhetoric—collectively known as the trivium) from the time of Cicero down to the time of Thomas Nashe.
McLuhan also started the journal Explorations with anthropologist Edmund "Ted" Carpenter
He never fully recovered from the stroke and died in his sleep on December 31, 1980.
