A quote that I particularly liked and wanted to share out then was, “All media are extensions of some human faculty-psychic or physical.” and it made me think a lot because of his idea turned my usual conventional perception of media on its head. I had previously only thought of media as just a tool to convey information in our modern society, but McLuhan’s notion speaks to the fact that media itself influences the way we see the world. It’s like a cell phone, which on the outside looks like it’s just a way to communicate or provide entertainment, but it’s also slowly changing the way we think and the way we socialize. Or television, which does more than just show images; its very existence can inadvertently distract us and change our understanding of reality. These products do enhance the convenience of our lives, but they don’t come without a price. So while enjoying these conveniences, I’ve been thinking about the price we’re paying. Attention, memory, or perhaps patience with reality. So we lose other things while we enhance the convenience of our lives. This is McLuhan’s reminder that the medium is not only changing the way we see the world but also reshaping our humanity.
