The document discusses Marshall McLuhan's statement that "The medium is the message", explaining that how a message is delivered or presented is central to its meaning. It also addresses whether technology shapes humans or vice versa, arguing that it is a two-way relationship, as humans create technology to solve problems but become reliant on technological conveniences, shaping human behavior. For example, annual iPhone upgrades make tasks easier but also encourage laziness.

1. Explain the statement of Marshall McLuhan that “The Medium is the


Message”.
= In my own understanding the statement of Marshall McLugan “The Medium is the Message” is that
the message is on how you send, show or relay it to the receiver. The Medium or the way you send
your informations, ideas or knowlegde is the message.

2. Does technology shaped us or is it us who shaped technology? Explain your


answer and give an example.
= It is both, we shape technology and technology shape us also. Humans have a lot of advancements
in their minds which technology is one of those, humans make technology and improve techonology
in many different ways so that we could have the convenience that we all want to experience, but this
desire has an effect on us which is laziness. For example, iPhones every year are developing, Apple
releases new products every year which it’s more advance and convenient which makes everything
easier for us humans.
