My tutor for Network Media mentioned a book named Understanding Media in class last week. She spoke briefly about his famous concept about how ‘the medium is the message’. Fascinating idea! I’ve heard this idea before, I think in high school. I see a lot of reason in it, it’s very honest and real. So I did some research on the author, Marshall McLuhan, and I’ve now got my heart set on reading this book.
So whilst I’m pretending that this post is a demonstration of my engagement with this course and an interest in learning more about media, honestly this is just a little note to myself to remember to read the book.
