The Medium is the Message, or the Mediating Conditions for Informing Systems

Författare

  • Markus Lahtinen

Summary, in English

In this paper, the works of communication theorist Marshall McLuhan will be laid out in a socio-technical tradition of thoughts. Noted for coining the term ‘the global village’, another well-recognized adage of McLuhan is ‘the medium is the message’. Adapting the perspective of viewing information systems essentially as a language and meaning environment, the set of ideas offered by McLuhan offers a promising way to think about the relationship between media, meaning and language. Inspired by his work, I explore the media-specific qualities of two different media associated with higher education – traditional classroom and the rising online format.
