For Sophie Drake
A medium creates an environment.
An environment is a process; it is not a wrapper.
Its an action, and it goes to work on our nervous system
and on our sensory lives, completely altering them.
Marshall McLuhan (1966)
Mediathe means of communication among peoplemake victims of us all. The media are invasive. They invade our senses. We have little control. Advertisements surround us. We cannot avoid or un-see them. The sounds of radio and public address systems envelop us; we have no earlids to shut them out. One can attempt to tune out the media, but its difficult, as media are contrived and constructed to capture and hold our attention. When my children are at a restaurant with a television on, they cannot not watch it nor can I.
Most people can only tune out media by tuning in to another form of media. Thus, the phones and gadgets come out, even in places that are permeated with media, such as nightclubs and theaters, and even in the company of others with whom were supposed to be socially engaged. This afternoon, as I ate lunch in the campus cafeteria, I spied a college student sitting across from me. This student was sitting with a group of peers, but he was not speaking or looking at them. There were television monitors scattered across the cafeteria, an MTV University program on the screen, with pop music emanating from the speakers. He occasionally glanced at the TV screen, but he wasnt really watching or listening to the broadcast. He was mostly staring at his iPhone, visually engaged.
