Marshall McLuhan

Lawrence Douglas

“Today’s television child is attuned to up-to-the-minute “adult” news-inflation, rioting, war, taxes, crime, bathing beauties- and is bewildered  when he enters  the nineteenth- century environment that still characterizes the educational establishment where information is scarce but  ordered and structured  by fragmented, classified patterns, subjects, and schedules.” (Pg 18)

 

With modern technology, we often notified and up to date with daily news. The things that adults would notify us of on current events we can find out for ourselves. The age of technology not only has expanded our knowledge of new topics that we didn’t know before. The nineteenth century was the time when technology was just getting started. With the use of technology now we are more adept to common events that occur around us. We can find this source of media anywhere on multiple forms of social media. Technology is an ever-expanding idea that we will continue through our lifetime
