Humanist Technocracy and Means of Communication

As has been previously discussed, one of the respects in which Marx is a Technocrat is that he conceives the fruits of science to influence the structure of society, i. e. the Means of Production.  However, he does not recognize another mode of such influence--the Means of Communication, notably the privatization of Religion by Gutenberg's invention, centuries prior to Selfishness becoming the cardinal Virtue of Capitalism.  It is not until the rise of Electronic media, that McCluhan can discern the political consequences of the Means of Communication--the beginnings of the collectivization of society as a Global Village.  But still unimaginable to him is the extent to which the World Wide Web has since been actualizing the Humanist Technocracy concept.
