What's the deal with the free variation between 'message' and 'massage'? Christian Campbell 18:40, 18 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Disagreement

"The media are the message" is a phrase meaning that the generic form of media is more important than any "meaning" or "content" that the media conveys. For McLuhan, the content of media is irrelevant. The form of the medium itself is what changes our consciousness. The previously struck text grossly misrepresents what McLuhan meant. See here for much better explanation: What is the Meaning of The Medium is the Message?

You may have a point, but please don't go scribbling all over the subject page. If you disagree, then why not re-write this article? Wompom 14:03, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
