In the second reading, Marshall McLuhan explains how technological advancement is changing everything around us over the years. He states “All media are extensions of some human faculty- psychic or physical. The wheel is an extension of the foot, the book is an extension of the eye, clothing, an extension of skin, electric circuitry an extension of the central nervous system. Media, by altering the environment, evoke in us unique ratios of sense perceptions. The extension of any one sense alters the way we think and act- the way we perceive the world. When these ratios change, men change.” “When this circuit learns your job, what are you going to do, jobs represent a relatively recent pattern of work.” Basically, technology and media play a way in how we design. As we progress into the future, design becomes more simple and modernistic for the audiences we design them for.
