Yes... I know that's the reverse of what Marshall McLuhan was stating within his book; however, part of my MRP this year will be attempting to debunk this statement.
Aside from this aspect and belief, I find this section of his work highly interesting. I specifically found the notion [p.158] that there are two ways of viewing a criminal to be fascinating. The idea that a criminal could be simply a non-conformist who is unable to fit the technological demands of society versus simply belonging to a niche presents an interesting ideological struggle that I would've loved to have seen given more attention. I would be excited to know more of his thoughts on this paradigm.
Furthermore, these 10 pages are heavy and can be a daunting read. The concept itself is a main determinant of this quagmire - differentiating between the medium, the content, and the message and whether or not one is 'in tune' enough to determine the difference. Overall, I am looking forward to discussing this topic next week and reading more about others' views.
