I hope you enjoyed your day off from classes and that you used your time wisely to get started on the reading and assignment for Friday. Make sure to post your assignment from the syllabus here on the blog before class on Friday!
Here are some thoughts and questions to inspire you when choosing points that interest you, and you may also freely choose your own points of interest to discuss in your assignment:
---Which, if any, of McLuhan's ideas seem particularly relevant to contemporary culture issues with technology or media?
---How does McLuhan address the notion of how technology evolves and adapts to cultural shifts and needs?
---Can you compare McLuhan's interest in tribal culture and/or the human interaction with nature to any current trends or ideas?
---How does the current pervasive use of technology in our culture relate to specific ideas McLuhan discusses in the interview?
