The Medium is the Message

The medium is the message. The message is the medium. The saying comes from Marshall McLuhan. To me this means that the medium is part of the message, basically one in the same. The medium influences how the message is perceived.

In 2015 there are a whole lot of mediums and messages and I think this effects us and how we interact with one another. It changes how we feel and how we think. I believe the medium can be manipulated to make you think a certain way. It's important to be mindful of all aspects of communication and never forget that it doesn't hurt to call someone instead of sending them a text.
