Medium Is The Message


“According to McLuhan’s theory, each medium has its own internal logic, and each affects how we experience the world.” (page 291) I can agree with this! It is important that you know which medium is best to make sure that the message is delivered properly. I believe TV is a great medium.

I do agree with McLuhan that TV is a cool medium, especially in today’s era. We use television in everyday life, to watch the news, entertainment, speeches, and music.  With television you can see and hear at the same time it gives the person watching an easier way to receive the message. TV shows everything that you wish you saw once you heard it. I believe television gives everyone that believability they may need to understand facts. For example, we may read a newspaper article on a killing and may by pass it. Once you've tuned to the news and they show you how the investigation is going and what the murderer looks like I feel like you could get more involved. Even with newspapers still around some people may just prefer watching the news than reading it.
