Marshall McLuhan, The Medium is the Massage was slightly confusing when I read it, but I will try my best to understand that context of the text. From what I can tell, Marshall McLuhan believes that the medium can do much more than just display another media. Like how television can change people’s perception like their political party or their personal preferences. Watching the news may give you information about weather or sports, but also change your view on government and people. Cooking shows may make you hungry, but also persuade you to try different foods or even cook. It is also like how political cartoons can shape a person’s perception on governments. With technology evolving and spreading, we can get information from all over the world and know exactly what is happening in different countries and cultures. The media and technology can be a great thing or can spread negativity. I already seen many people, including my parents, where they were sent fake news and believed it causing them to be superstitious. I do believe the younger audiences that er exposed to electronics have a better understanding of who to trust and what sources are reliable. However, the text also shows us artworks and makes the reader interpret what the message is. It can honestly mean anything to different people and even offend depending on the culture. As an artist, I like analysis artworks, it gives me inspiration and an idea of what was going on in the artist’s head. That is why I like visiting museums and art galleries when I get the chance.

(I feel like I was way off from the text, but I was just writing what was in my head)
