Wir sind das Medium

Interessanter Artikel zur Diskussion ob wir das Medium sind, und wie es gemeint ist. Klassische Frage, ebenso gute Kommentatoren.

I know many others have made this point, but I think it’s worth saying again: We are the medium.

I don’t mean this in the sense that we are the new news media, as when Dan Gillmor talks about “We the Media.” I cherish Dan’s work (read his latest: Mediactive), but I mean “We are the medium” more in McLuhan’s “The medium is the message” sense.

McLuhan was reacting against information science’s view of a medium as that through which a signal (or message) passes.
