Medium

The medium is the message

To really think about what medium is we can refer to many things. It basically, defines that everything has a content, which is related to another one. It is translations of something that is creating but first cause of it was a medium that happened to start a particular medium.

The thing that appears in McLuhan’s essay is that there is a cause to everything that has been created, it brings up the common question we all heard about, chicken came first or an egg, the answer can go on and on with different reasons. What appears in the essay is that actually the chicken was the reason behind having eggs, so this chronological order happen that there should be a chicken, as a source to have the egg.

I think there is a reason and order for things to happen around us, mediums happen to help us in different ways, to either exceed our life and ability or help to improve it. For instance, a printer created to ease our work of developing texts, photos, and other things to improve our works so we don’t have to do old fashion traditional way of printing. Another example is technology, it happened to help us to do things faster such as computers and phones.
