Photo credit: (c) Yousuf Karsh - edited by Robin Good I must be thankful for taking me again onto this intellectual recreation journey to Teemu Arina , a young Finnish entrepreneur, scholar and media analyst that just escapes any attempt to professional categorization. As he recently passed through Rome while headed to one of the many conferences he is invited to speak at, he found a little time to meet with me and chat over the cultural and media technology topics that fascinate us both. The questions he poses me , possibly inspired by the presence of a newly found media friend, Adrian Guzman, a fellow in the McLuhan Program in Culture and Technology , are as challenging as any of Teemu's (Adrian provides some interesting short insight at the end of the clip, on the importance of media awareness for children as well as about his perception of our developing electrical extensions to our bodies.)

BOOK The Strange Afterlife of Marshall McLuhan By Tim Cumming "The old politics had parties, policies, planks, opposition. The new politics is concerned only with images. The problem in the new politics is to find the right image. Image hunting is the new thing, and policies no longer matter because whether your electric light is provided by Republicans or Democrats is rather unimportant compared to the service of light and power and all the other kinds of services that go with our cities. Service environment's the thing in place of political parties." Annie Hall , as a cultural figure he is a museum piece who remains ahead of the times. His powers of prescience are uncanny, and his emphasis on the role of technological evolution rather than biological and genetic determinism is a vital tool for negotiating the brave new digital world. Last year California-based Gingko Press launched a major publishing program that extends through 2007 with new editions of McLuhan's late sixties classics

He is not even a name that academics necessarily revere anymore: much of what he taught is no longer believed by many eminent media studies researchers. However, McLuhan was a media and communications pioneer, and in many ways, a maverick. He revolutionized the way that many saw and thought about the media, and coined a few choice phrases along the way. The Work of McLuhan McLuhan realized, earlier than many, just how influential the new medium of television had become for individuals of all ages. In particular, McLuhan saw the effects of advertising on a post-war industrial society. In his first major piece of work, titled

Marshall McLuhan and The Gutenberg Galaxy First published in 1962, Marshall McLuhan's The Gutenberg Galaxy studies the emergence of what its author calls Gutenberg Man, the subject produced by the change of consciousness wrought by the advent of the printed book. A propos of his axiom, "The medium is the message," McLuhan argues that technologies are not simply inventions which people employ but are the means by which people are re-invented. The invention of movable type was the decisive moment in the change from a culture in which all the senses partook of a common interplay to a tyranny of the visual. Movable type, with its ability to reproduce texts accurately and swiftly, extended the drive toward homogeneity and repeatability already in evidence in the emergence of perspectival art and the exigencies of the single "point of view". He writes: the world of visual perspective is one of unified and homogeneous space. Such a world is alien to the resonating diversity of spoken words. So language was the last art to accept the visual logic of Gutenberg technology, and the first to rebound in the electric age. (136) For McLuhan, the standardized letter forms of movable type reduced spoken language and even the vagaries of hand-written communication to deviations from an original type. This not only resulted in the commodification of literature but the simultaneous emergence of the "author" and the "public." "Manuscript technology," he writes, "did not have the intensity or power of extension to create publics on a national scale. What we call 'nations' did not and could not precede the advent of Gutenberg technology any more than they can survive the advent of electric circuitry with its power of totally involving all people in other people" (ix).

Login McLuhan Media Recent ... McLuhan Hypothesis McLuhan states that people adapt to their environment through a certain balance or ratio of their senses, and the primary medium of the age brings out a particular sense ratio. McLuhan sees every medium as an extension of some human faculty, with the media of communication thus exaggerating this or that particular sense. In his words, "The wheel...is an extension of the foot. The book is an extension of the eye... Clothing, an extension of the skin...Electric circuitry,an extension of the central nervous system". Whatever predominates media will influence human beings by affecting the way they perceive the world. Hot and Cool Media The Medium is the Message McLuhan The /LawsOfMedia From McLuhan Light and Dark Extension/Enhancement: Every technology extends or amplifies some organ or faculty of the user. What does the medium enhance or intensify? Closure/Obsolescence: Because there is equilibrium in sensibility, when one area of experience is heightened or intensified, another is diminished or numbed. What is pushed aside or obsolesced by the new medium? Reversal: Every form, pushed to the limit of its potential, reverses its characteristics.

McLuhan originated he idea that human beings can extend their nervous system via a global neural net through the use of electronic media and devices, and he described many of the changes that could be wrought by such a network. Mcluhan's prescience regarding these changes, as embodied in the later created World Wide Web, and his (initial) glowing praise of them, made him very popular with 1990's cyberpunk culture and earned him the title "Patron Saint of Wired Magazine". Advertising and business pundits revere McLuhan for his "4 Laws of Media", which they consider a touchstone for evaluating and predicting change sparked by new media developments and use. Marshall McLuhan was born in Canada’s Edmonton, Alberta on July 21, 1911. Although he was a poor student as a youngster (he was admitted to grade seven only after considerable efforts of his mother on his behalf), he later completed a five-year honors program at the University of Manitoba in English and Philosophy. He emerged in 1935 with an M.A., and then went on to Cambridge where he earned a Ph.D. in Literature.

The Stoicism of Aurelius is grounded in rationality and rests solidly on an ethical approach rooted in nature. Stoicism promises real happiness and joy in this life and a serenity that can never be soured by personal misfortune. This philosophy has universal appeal with practical implications on problems ranging from climate change and terrorism to the personal management of sickness, aging, depression and addiction.
