McLuhan Assignment 2

For my second McLuhan assignment I decided to do texting. The world of the telephone has changed dramatically over time. My grandmother still has a cord phone in her kitchen. It represents how far technology has come. Now, it is so much easier to get in contact with someone just on the cell phone. Texting allows for an easier communication because essentially it is just like a written voicemail. However, that does not mean that it is always used like that. Many people, including myself, use texting as a legitimate form of communication. It is for this reason that texting is a serious medium in the world of communication. However, the cell phone is also used for other things besides texting. Many cell phones have internet access which means that a person is constantly connected with the rest of the world. This is another reason why the cell phone is an important medium.
