Adcording to Marshal Mcluhan, the medium within The Medium is the Message, is the form of a message whether that be print, visual or oral. This determines the many ways in which that message will be perceived. Mcluhan believed that modern day technology/communications are effecting the ways we experience the world. These form of communication can include television, radio or a computer. I can agree to that there are some negative results pertaining to our medium now a days as well as the positive outcomes. The communication between people can be seen as increased but also decreased. The many new resources and options we have today makes it easier for us to get a message out. It allows faster communication with also being able to communicate with more people at once.
However, most of these resources and forms of communication are digital (cellphones, computers, television). This leads to less oral communication and human contact. There was one point made by Mcluhan about literacy being involved with the mediums that I also agree with. Mcluhan believed that people would become more illiterate is being due to the oral and printed communication we lack. I can understand this because they less we have to read or write , we are not developing our vocabulary or expanding it. Over all, this shows how important the medium is to the way we consume digital media today.
