Growing up an hour's drive from Toronto in a small town, he developed an early interest in reading, computers, Star Trek, and karaoke. He began visiting the local library regularly to use the internet, eventually getting dial-up in his home around the year 2000. Some of his favourite websites to browse as a teenager were Fark.com, an American news aggregator, and Slashdot.org, a community revolving around the computer industry. The immersion in the daily discussions of politically and geographically diverse posters from Fark.com informs his understanding of American culture. And Slashdot.org developed his strong interest in Free computer culture leading him to erase Windows and begin using different versions of the GNU/Linux operating system on his desktop computer. His Computer Science studies at Carleton University in Ottawa were interrupted, and he acquired work first as a computer repair technician, and then full time selling magazines. Having witnessed the rise of the smartphone and social media industry, he now feels there is a need for voices who can provide informed perspectives on modern digital society and their effects on culture. By using old ideas to contextualize the present, such as cyberspace and the ideas of Marshall McLuhan, he hopes to offer some historical perspective which could make phenomena like "Twitter mobs" and contemporary polarized politics more easily understood.

Source: https://www.spreaker.com/user/gavinmm Andrew McLuhan has some keen insights into how the world will change after COVID. I particularly liked the reference he made to how the arts will morph. He also explains what Marshall meant by 'medium'.  Andrew is cataloging every one of the thousands of mentions his media guru grandfather, Dr. Marshall McLuhan, made to his phrase, "the medium is the message" at his site website https://www.tmitm.com/ . Also, here is the YouTube video Andrew makes reference to in the podcast between Marshall McLuhan and Norm Mailer. It's dense. Not gonna lie but fascinating if you are interested.
