By using Marshall Mcluhan's Tetrad of Media (shown in the diagram below)
We ask this questions....
- What does the medium enhance?
- What does the medium make obsolete?
- What does the medium retrieve?
- What does the technology reverse into if it is over extended?
1. I think that blogging has enhances the world of newspapers, radio and even news (TV). Instead of having to print out A LOT of newspapers, using paper, we instead can use blogs as e-newspapers to tell people of news. Which can also apply to TV where people can "tune" in on their own free time. By radio also, blogs are able to upload musics and advertisements, so it also a more enhanced way.
2. The medium make obsolete newspapers, TV, billboards advertisement and etc. Because I feel that, Blogs can already do much and have a lot of usage and it is definitely obsolute to convey messages in the following medias when we already have BLOGS. Blogs are more convenient and has been quite useful. It can help people convey messages, advertisements, their own personal comments and many more.
3. I think for me, this medium, "blogging" helps achieve a, self-satisfactory feeling of being able to express your feelings, thoughts, words and so on on your blog. It also helps retrieve a new method of conveying news, advertisements, events and many more.
4. If blogging is over extended, i think technology will not be reversed. But the communication among people and society will decrease. People will not see the need to communicate physically and verbally. People will be sitting in a room filled with silence and still they do not see the need to utter a word or two.
