Assignment 7

The technologies humans have developed have improved our life in so many ways, this can go back to way back in history such as when agriculture started to be raised and factories ran with machines. Mcluhan believed that as well he mentioned light being used. It is an invention that helped our life during nighttime, thanks to Thomas Edison, but everything has two side effects, whether positive or negative.

Technology is being portrayed as an extension to our civilization, and extension is a very common word, like McLuhan mentioned in Understanding Media, he mentioned that clothes are extensions for our human body, book as an extension of the eye, wheel as an extension of wheel. We are indeed in a world where we need extension to make our life more advanced in different ways, and so are the negative such as ocean wastes and a lot many other environmental harms, or it could just be hard for people to find a job because they’re getting replaced by machines. Nonetheless technology definitely made our life better and every changes we get from them there is definitely a downside for it.
