I found that McLuhan’s main point in The Medium is the Message was to rid the ignorance of not being aware of our every surrounding. A statement that stood out to me was “‘The Medium is the Message’ is a look around to see what’s happening.” I found this profound because it is so simple but can be challenging because of the preoccupation of technology. When I look around at the people who surround me they are too busy trying not to make any eye contact with anything that is human.
