Explanation

The correct pairing links each author with the concept he is known for.

Manuel Castells pairs with interactive media culture, reflecting his network-society thought.

Trevor Barr pairs with electronic nomads, the term associated with his media writing.

Nicolas Negroponte pairs with the post-information age, the idea he advanced on personalised media.

Marshall McLuhan pairs with the global village, his famous vision of an electronically linked world.

Attaching the global village to Castells or electronic nomads to McLuhan would break these true author-to-concept links.

Each concept belongs to a distinct thinker in media theory.
