What Effect Does Media Have on a Message?

Media is the channel through which learning takes place, and it can have various effects on a message. 

The Issues of the Message.

Three of the biggest issues dealing with the message are: the ethnicity, the ever growing size, and lack of education.  The issue of the message being "too big" is definately a problem.  Just "The Message" seems and is so broad.  Also, it's not likely that anytime soon the message will stop and/or stay the same forever.  Honestly there are so many parts and pieces to each and every message that is being taught out there to say "Well, that's all there is to this."  Because in our every changing society we are learning new things everday that are practical to every message out there.  It's just so hard to capture the essence of the message when there is so much to every message. I found this article rather interesting.  It has a few far fetched ideas; however, it has a few good points pertaining to "the message." http://www.cyberartsweb.org/cpace/infotech/mcluhan1.html.  Also, if you have any questions, comments or just some thoughts let me know by going to my blog and telling me all about it.
