The Medium is the Massage

According to The Medium is the Massage, a medium is an idea which may be communicated in several diverse ways. The imagery and captions in mosaic are shown differently and convey a different message. For instance, the images convey a distinct emotion than the text itself. McLuhan represents the diminishing value of traditional approach as they blend with modern techniques. In this new digital era, by attracting the readers’ attention with imagery and phrasing, as they work together to achieve a shocking and intense experience. In a non-linear form, McLuhan focus on the medium itself rather than the content to transmit the intended message to the readers of mosaic. He achieves this by using examples of unexpected swings in social ideas and connecting those with exciting visuals, resulting in a disorganized and unpredictable style. 

Manovich’s 5 Priciples of new media

Through the concept of programmability, Manovich’s first principle can be extended into some of McLuhan’s ideas. If every new media can be mathematically defined, it becomes more open to change and relates to McLuhan’s theory of how we absorb data and how that data impacts our judgment. The second concept is also relevant to McLuhan’s overall narrative in “The Medium is the Massage,” as he connects multiple media aspects and pieces to communicate a greater message. The fourth concept talks about variability, as it implies that new media, in any form, is not a fixed entity. When you look at the method, he utilized to express the content on the mosaic, you’ll notice that the idea of chaos is quite like the idea of variety, and it gives the readers freedom about how they engage with his content. 

When humans began to evolve, we have developed several tools to ease our way of living.As time went by, communication became one of our most important ways to transfer information  from on to an other, however, it would come in a time priced manner. On the past, the tools which we used for communicating information or data required a lot of time and energy with minimal results, making this exchanges extremely time consuming. As time we by we started to development and improve those tools to lower the time consumption and incriminating the date/ information we intended to communicate.When computer came along, this became a reality, as individuals could communicate massive amount of information from on place to another in a blink.

Digital technology has improved the way humans communicate to one another, it has allows us to connect with people from place with would have never imagine. On the past decade, digital technology has revolved from a tool to a medium, as it was designed with the intention of completing simply tasks to a highly effective platform of data transmission.

Digital technology has drastically improved the way we understand cultures, as it provides the knowledge of generations to the palm of our hands.however, each coin has to side and this isn’t the expectation. When we look at the amount of information presented to us on a daily basis, our mind can get overwhelmed by it, spiking the levels of stress and anxiety with it ourselves as our mind have not being design to process such a large amount of information in such a short period of time.
