Marshall McLuhan was an influential thinker who studied the impact of media and technology. He is quoted as saying that "the medium is the message" and that we fail to fully consider how the choice of medium shapes the message conveyed and its reception. The document presents several of McLuhan's ideas about media and how new technologies can enhance some things, retrieve others, reverse roles, and make older technologies obsolete. It also suggests these ideas remain highly relevant to understanding changes in digital media and user experience design.

- 17. our conventional response to all media, namely that it is how they are used that counts, is the numb stance of the technological idiot.
- 20. any understanding of social and cultural change is impossible without a knowledge of the way media work as environments - Marshall McLuhan + Quentin Fiore, The Media is the Massage
- 22. WHY THIS MIGHT MATTER: • Has there ever been a time in digital when there’s been more interest in and focus on content?
- 24. WHY THIS MIGHT MATTER: • You sometimes pick or influence the medium that your work is expressed within.

Notas del editor
- Why do architects need to create stars? Because, I think, architecture deals with unmeasurables… Architects, grappling with the intangibles of design, select a guru whose work gives them personal help in areas where there are few rules to follow.” – Denise Scott Brown
- The content or message of any particular medium has about as much importance as the stenciling on the casing of an atomic bomb.
- We do social and cultural change. All the time.
- “The ability to perceive media-induced extensions of man, once the province of the artist, is now being expanded as the new environment of electric information makes possible a new degree of perception and critical awareness by nonartists”
- “Intense participation and low definition, where viewer has to fill in or complete the image themselves = “cool”
- “In a cool medium, the audience is an active constituent of the viewing or listening experience”
- “Low in participation by the audience, extends a single sense with high definition” “Fragmented, exclusive”
- Tsien and Williams withhold certain views in certain media from the client
- Proposition: don’t *ever* show web / app / digital UI / UX / IxD work that’s not a figured-out product yet on a computer or projector. Never. Our content may be hand-rendered and sketchy as all hell but photographing it and sharing and presenting it on a digital device / screen / projected image involves the effects of a new medium, and the message of that additional layer of the digital/projected medium “says” stuff that’s at odds with what and where you’re at in your process. So don’t.
