I
found the Medium is the Message is a very interesting article. The title means
that the form of a medium embeds itself in the message, creating a symbiotic
relationship by which the medium influences how the message is perceived. In
the article, he announces the existence of a global village. According to
Marshal McLuhan, the man who coined the term “global village” and the phrase
“the medium is the message”, we will reflect on what he had to say about the
various ways human beings extend themselves, and how these extensions affect
our relationships with one another. McLuhan believed that mankind has always
been fascinated and obsessed with the extension.
I
found a video on Youtube that filmed a baby boy’s birth to nine years. The
video is only two minutes long, but it pictures the baby’s growth in nine
years. It explains what McLuhan describes in his article about the concept of
“Medium is the Message.”
