The work by Marshall McLuhan called, “The Medium is the Massage” along with the audio recording provided, gives the readers an understanding of the viewpoint of media in the lives of people everywhere. The author provides examples in everyday lives where media can effect the individual. These areas include childhood, education, work, and even the people that surround your life. Not only was this an interesting read, but the artwork included in the publication made it more appealing to the eye. Seeing that I am a communication major, I understood most of the effects McLuhan covered in the work. The audio also went along perfectly with the publication. It offered a taste of what was used as examples in the writing. It sounded as though snippets from TV and radio were put together on one file to create this mash up.
