McLuhan's conception of a new form of social organization emerging due to instantaneous electronic media connecting the entire world into one great social, political, and cultural system, is known as:

McLuhan's idea of the whole world drawn together by instant electronic media into one social, political and cultural system is the global village.

Electronic media collapse distance, so far-apart people share information as a small community would.

A global city misnames the idea, since McLuhan spoke of village-like closeness, not an urban form.

A global district and a global block are not McLuhan's terms and carry no such established meaning.

He tied this notion to his saying that the medium is the message.

McLuhan set out the global village in works such as The Gutenberg Galaxy.
