Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on some aspects of McLuhan’s educational reflection, that does not neglect the evolution of the higher education institutions in the age of technological accelerations. Specifically, McLuhan is deeply aware of the particular phase in which universities are no longer elitist functional systems and become a mass educational industry. This is the interpretative perspective of McLuhan’s interest for the processes of innovation in the field of higher education, highlighting the socio-cultural, political and productive shifts peculiar of the economic prosperity age.
