Today in the begining of class we discussed our term papers. Next week we need to have an abstract of our paper submitted to the blog. It needs to be one page long and the final paper is due the week after on December 8.
The next thing we did was watch McCluhan's Wake which discussed Marshall McCluhan's life and his 4 Laws of Media. McCluhan's 4 Laws of Media are:
1. What will this thing enhance?
2. What will this tool obsolesce?
3. What will this tool retrieve from the things you lost?
4. How will this tool reverse on you when it is pushed to its outer limit?
After listening to Marshall McCluhan's descriptions of his 4 Laws of Media we went over our own examples. We discussed cell phones, skyscrapers, and cars.
