The images above were edited utilizing Adobe Photoshop in order to bring in specific details regarding the lifestyle of a McLuhan Global Village citizen. The entire living space feature soft, naturalistic lighting provided by the sun during the day and energy efficient light bulbs as the daylight dwindles. The living area features two major technologies that are employed by citizens throughout the McLuhan Global Village. First, the web cam allows for any citizen to be connected to another person or a group anywhere around the world. Also on the table lies a compact laptop that can easily fold up for portability. The sleeping area features a prominent McLuhan portrait above the bed for a reminder of their philosophy of living. Also print media lies scattered throughout the area including books on the shelf and a stack of the local newspapers and a favorite book on the bedside table.
