Or become distracted by everything that is out there (almost too much content) More access to information and data (eg. the news/current events) Should come away from this course w/a highly tuned, constantly updating imagination. And the ability to think of things in new ways. Famous for his theory, the medium is the message . The way that you communicate is going to influence what it is you"re communicating. Platform is just as important as the message. Technology determines where humans are going, who we are (that it shapes us) That we"re trying to catch up to technology and changing to meet it.
