McLuhan.
Electronic media is an extension of the central nervous system.

McLuhan.
We are blind to the effects of the currently dominate medium.

McLuhan.
The impact of the medium is more important than the content.
![Page 20: 23 march for posting](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062522/58a225bc1a28ab527c8b4727/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
McLuhan.
The content of the new medium is the old media.
For instance, the content of the movies is plays, the theater. Or perhaps more precise: narrative -
stories.

McLUHAN
The four laws (questions) of media.
1. What does it enhances or intensify?
2. What does it render or obsolete or displace?
3. What does it retrieve that was previously obsolesced?
4. What does it produce or become when pressed to an extreme?
