Marshall McLuhan - 'The Medium is the Massage'

For this task the class was split into groups of four to work on a specific book we as a group where giving 'The medium is the massage' this is a book created by Marshall McLuhan and Quentin Fiore in 1967. The medium is the message was the original phrase that McLuhan created to decribe how inspiration from a persons mind and sensory receptors is created into a message for others to see and read to interpret for themselves. He insists that he the medium and the message is the same thing, and that the medium creates the message. Each week we have worked on this book and created different documents of sources to talk about 'The Medium is the Massage' for instance PREZI - we each created a prezi talking about different aspects of the book the audio videos, quotes, Marshall Mcluhan in general and the book itself we also want to include interviews both video and audio. This is a weekly on going task that is interesting and different.
