Marshall McLuhan talks about many different things within the digital media field. This short blog is going to be on one of his messages: "The Medium is the message".
Is this true? In a way, I believe so. The medium does play a big part in the message. As an example, Receiving news through an article you find on Twitter will provide a different reaction and experience compared to learning about the same situation from a News Anchor on a TV channel.
Now more than ever there is an ever growing list of mediums you can receive information from.
TikTok, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, News Websites, YouTube, and the lot. With all of these new sites and apps they all have different quirks and experiences, so receiving the information from any one of these sites would be it's own experience. In short, the medium certainly is the message in a way.
