The Medium is the Message 1-20

• I sometimes think about how life was before technology was even created. I think about how people got in touch with each other right away if something is wrong. We are very lucky to have the technology we have today. In the first couple of pages, McLuhan talks about how everything is changing, even what we say. Now that everything can be traced through emailing and texting, people have to be careful with what they say. Unlike the times before technology where no one needed to worry about any of this.
• What I did not understand fully was when he said children growing up is absurd because they live in two different worlds. I don't know what he means by two worlds. 
• I am interested in point when he said, "the womb-to-tomb surveillance are causing a very serious dilemma between our claim to privacy and the communities need to know." With all this new technology people think they have the right to know other peoples business. He also points out that everyone is so involved with each other that the new environment can't be programmed. 
• It is like McLuhan is against technology.
