One idea I would like to use from McLuhan is the idea of medium being the message. With the way we use technologies in our everyday lives, I want to explore what these pieces of technology were an extension of and what change did these technologies cause in societies.
Another idea I want to use is the idea of amplification becomes amputation. I want to know what did these pieces of technology amputate. I think it would be interesting to see how everyday technology has amputated us and I think it would be in ways I would not have even guessed.
The final idea I would like to use from McLuhan is this idea of reversal. I would like to know if these technologies have been pushed to their limits and how they have taken the opposite of their original features. I think this would grant a lot of insight into these pieces of technology.
