What is "blocking" the students from comprehending McLuhan's message to them? It seems that the way the student live and communicate in their lifestyles is different than McLuhan’s which is blocking and preventing them from understanding.
How does McLuhan feel about the educational system he is involved in? It seems as though he thinks that it’s a little on the useless side and that why we even have it to begin with.
Do you fully understand McLuhan's message? What do you think he means? To be honest I’m not too sure of what the exact message is but it seems to be about the what we communicate today.
This recording was made many years ago... before the internet. Are there any predictions or observations made by McLuhan which are poignant in relationship to our present time? That the way we communicate, if anything, it’s through some sort of technology and less face to face.
Is the medium the "message", or just the "massage"? I think that it adds to the message but I don’t think that it is the message it’s more of the massage.
What is the psychological difference between hi-def and low-def media? One is more clear and more restored than the other.
Do you think there may be a direct relationship between the intellectual/artistic/cultural value of a meme and its viral impact? Personally no, although some of the people who put the memes can seem to take it very seriously as if it was art while some just want it to be funny or they just want to be famous.
What is the psychological difference between viewing a traditional drawing on a computer screen at a high resolution, or viewing the unmediated drawing on a well-lit wall? I’d say that it’s close to the same, the color may be slightly different, but the difference would be if you see it on a computer you just see the image but if you see it on a well lit wall you see it for what it really is, texture and all.
