The medium is the message is the medium...


We as a society believe that one of our fundamental rights is to connect to the internet.The medium is the message is the medium has so many possible meanings.  There are so many mediums out there right now it is hard to keep up with them. Media started out simply and as technology has advanced, it has also. With all the devices used to transfer messages, how we understand or view the message becomes the means. Everything we want to know is on the internet, but depending on the source would depend on the answer. We could text a friend, email someone, watch a youtube video, or in my case, call tech support.

There are many ways to send messages. The fact that I chose to write in purple is sending a message right now. As long as we can connect, we can access different media means and continue to send messages via different media. It is a cycle that is continuous and each depend on the other.
