The Medium is the Message
The medium is the various channels through which the information is passed from one
medium to the other. These medium include scale that is introduced to our selves, automation of
tasks that reduces intensity of jobs and innovation portrayed through different medium of
communication. This means that the content of one medium becomes an alternative medium
which is used to independently transmit independent information.
We can equate the medium of communication to an electric light where the light is intact
but it can be used to perform different tasks i.e. it can be used to perform a surgery or to play
base ball. From this content we understand that different medium of communication passes
different messages depending on the state of mind of the user.
Cardinal Newman said of Napoleon, “He understood the grammar of gunpowder.”
Napoleon had paid some attention to other media as well, especially the semaphore telegraph
that gave him a great advantage over his enemies. He is on record for saying that “Three hostile
newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets.” This demonstrates that the success
of napoleon was not because he had gunpowder but he also learned the art of listening to other
media to know other information from his enemies and friends to. This gave him an edge over
his enemies. The Americas and became successful in concurring the world because they
embraced changes in education that gave them an edge over the British who stack with their
common laws that made them think that they are better than the rest of the world.
