A guidebook, and poetry more than prose, Marshall McLuhan's 1964 work remains one of our best resources for exploring the nature and effects of new media. It's not an easy read, so I'm going to help.
One reason I like his writings is that it is sort of a hybrid between the spoken word and the written word. I love the audio version of The Medium is the Massage. Linguists and phenomenologists make a distinction between spoken and written language that I think is worthy of some conversation. This conversation is pointing to a growing awareness of the differing effects of image-based and oral-based communication. The medium differences between social media and direct conversation is a growing topic of discussion in my world. What do think your dad and granddad would say about this?
