The Medium is the Message by Marshall McLunah made me think that people these days are kind of self-policing themselves knowing that somebody out there is constantly watching. When he speaks about parents and that they are not the people who raise us anymore, media does, but I kind of think that it’s been like that for a while that parent’s don’t make us who we are anymore they don’t really have that power to discipline us. Back in the day, if you listen to all those rappers “streets raised them”. But I see nothing wrong with that. The part where he talks how easy it is now to reach to one other is super great but I think people might’ve lost that great feeling when they talk to somebody because it’s like they always there. When he mentions children he says that they grew up too fast in the past because their educational environment sort of looked like a factory but now with all the apps and technology kids “stuck in between two worlds”.

If I’m not mistaken the author says that technologies took away most of people’s jobs but on the other hand people work to create those technologies. Also he said and I kind of found it true that it doesn’t matter how old you are you will be heard. I think it was referred to politics since now everything is so accessible on the internet and anyone can just go there and comment and express their opinion.

So basically there’s no privacy in this world anymore and people these days believe in what they see but before it’s used to be that they believed in what they hear because you cannot shut down your hearing senses.
