This week I will begin blogging through The Medium is the Massage (Message) by Marshall McLuhan (written in the 1960’s). McLuhan is considered one of the fathers (probably the father) of Media Ecology, a subject that I am quite interested in. Media Ecology, in a nutshell, is the idea that forms of media affect, and create, environments. In other words, when you use a particular technological medium of communication or entertainment, it produces a certain kind of environment and thus affects any existing environments that it comes into contact with.

Neil Postman was highly influenced by McLuhan, so I figured it was time I got to the source. I look forward to interacting with the book from a Christian perspective.
