response to media hot and cold

This essay was a little hard to understand I enjoyed it but not as much as the other essays. From what I understood about the reading is that McLuhan us as humans are connected with technology in terms of our nervous and physical systems. His tackle on this theory is that our phones are connected to our voices, televisions to eyes and ears and finally the computer extends to our brain. I feel like I have to agree, I mean we are always using our cell phones that they have become an extension of our selves. We voice our opening on the internet sometimes more openly than we care to do, we become so fixated on what's going on in media that we forget about our surroundings. Some of us can't leave the house without our cell phone so I definitely think it's an extension of ourselves because we are forgetting how to communicate with humans face to face, it's so easy hiding behind a screen. I I also really like how McLuhan talks about the extension of man and it's simulation of consciousness.
