New Page for "The Medium is the Massage"

   Media, in this electric age has almost entirely reshaped the way we receive information and as a byproduct, form our own opinions. Surrounded by the 24 hour sensationalist news-cycle the media has transformed from reporting the news into trying to create the news, to manufacture stories and with them, our opinions on these stories. It has become a constant buzz that so many find it nearly impossible to disconnect or detach from, even for a short while. It has created in the mass a constant craving and hunger for more news, more information, more gossip. There is an incessant need to know everything that is going on around us, while growing increasingly detached from the world immediately around us.
