[...] just read the stupid book yourself instead. BUT WAIT! Before you do that, meander over and read my article on chapter 3 [...]

"your reflection destroys you."

…or a reflection destroys the thing being reflected.

I did like the original, but this was a good compromise. :p

I liked this chapter. Although I know he was focusing on the idea that technology is an extension of ourselves, I liked most his push for us to understand the medium so that we might best use it. I think this is something with which I am constantly wrestling as a college student. Lots of times it's easy to get discouraged and think that I'm just chasing the wind or something by learning tons of pointless information. I think, though, that learning about and beginning to understand the media (plural of medium, not the media like Hollywood…I like to pluralize medium whenever I can) through which we communicate will lead to a better communication of the message. At least, I hope it will…otherwise I'm wasting my time.

Really great post Dewde, you really got to the heart of it, especially with our online 'fronts'. If the medium is the message, we're going to care about the way things are presented and communicated… it's just incredible how easy it is to get ourselves wrapped up in it all once we realize that truth.

That's an interesting point. When it comes to personal evangelism, "the medium is the message" is even more applicable. That is the medium – me and my life – is not only inseparable from the gospel I speak about but in many cases stands out above the words I use.
