McLuhan_the_medium_is_the_message

The idea of new media in this new growing environment really make me think how we are too much involved with the social media or the other media. Its inevitable for us to get out of it. It is our responsibility to help each other to control the information we share. It make me think how he mentioned how media and us are connected. It was interesting to know that how our sense alters and our perception also change in the same way. McLuhan tells us that a “message” is, “the change of scale or pace or pattern” that a new invention or innovation “introduces into human affairs.” (McLuhan 8). He wants to tell us that new invention always bring changes in our inner self. A McLuhan message always tells us to look beyond the obvious and seek the non-obvious changes or effects that are enabled, enhanced, accelerated or extended by the new thing.
