Marshall McLUHAN "The Medium is the message"

"The Medium is a Message," is stated by Marshall McLUHAN. Now why would he have said such a thing? First, the medium is the sharing of messages through any interposed device. Media, in the plural form is considered to be the widespread broadcast of media such as television, radio, digital media and magazines. (Mass Media In A Changing World) Often, many times, the medium is the most important message that is sent to the consumers. Although the technology in itself is advanced, it is just as consuming creating the general output of information in a form that targets, affects or moves the viewers in any certain general direction. However, the direction of which these can be moved into represent certain variable theories or features that are used to target or drive the human emotions in a way to "think" about what they view. First, a model of human communication involves many times a source that is a person, group or organization. Next, the message, is most importantly involved. Entertainment, Information or Persuasion is used. Then, the directed channel is pinpointed. Face-to-face, interpersonal, mediated mass integration is recorded and mediated convergance occurs. Last, the receiver is another person, group or organization. Mass communication includes the consistance of mediated messages that are transmitted to large widespread audiences. These messages are the most important to have communicated "correctly" because they include a large group or audience(s). Most importantly programs like AIM target messages to be displayed accurately. Sometimes the lesser that can occur involves mixed messages that can often get associated or misconscrewed in a wrong way.
