Understanding media

The Extensions of Man

Book • 1964

In 'Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man', Marshall McLuhan explores how different media forms influence human society and perception.

He introduces the concept that 'the medium is the message', suggesting that the characteristics of the medium, rather than its content, are what truly impact society.

McLuhan categorizes media into 'hot' and 'cool' types, based on the degree of audience participation required.

He also discusses how media extend human senses and alter human consciousness, leading to significant social and psychic consequences.

The book is a comprehensive analysis of various media, including print, radio, television, and more, and their effects on human interaction and culture.
