“Medium is the message” by McLuhan caught my attention. At the beginning of the article, it was mentioned that our current media and electronic technology have changed our life and everything around us.

They also mentioned how the child absorbed this knowledge. He mentioned that “The alphabet, for instance, is a technology that is absorbed by the very young child in a completely unconscious manner.” When we say something to the child, the child automatically thinks and acts in a certain way.

The media is like daily life to us, we will discuss some topics we see anytime, anywhere. A medium is a great place for designers to get the latest information. And we can also communicate our ideas with other people we don’t know through the medium.

I saw a Chinese illustrator on social media who often posts his latest paintings on social media. He published many paintings about current affairs. He will express the recent major events in the way of painting. It includes economic issues, war (military), technology, public opinion, and other issues.
