“The eye – it cannot choose but to see; we cannot bid the ear be still; or bodies to feel, where’re they be, against or with our will” - Wordsworth

I read ‘The media is the massage by Marshall McLuhan this morning. He wrote a really interesting book about how societies have been shaped more by the nature of the media by which men communicate than by the content of the communication.

In today’s electronic society we have shifted our attention from action to reaction. With technology moving so quickly as soon as we get information and take it in, it is replaced with yet newer information.

There are some great quotes and some viewpoints that were quite humorous as well. It is an eye-opener, or ears?...or mind?....hhmmmm?..Haha.
