The section of the article that discussed the ages of transmission technologies was the key part of the article as far as what I learned the most from. The relation to McLuhan made this argument more convincing. I’m not so sure that I agree with his criticism of McLuhan; I believe that McLuhan was right in the amount of emphasis that was put on the importance of the medium. (technology) I think that the development of technology and how it has evolved is hugely important on how it effects the response of audiences. I don’t think that Debray realizes this.
