Marshall McLuhan

I found this one a little strange, since it wasn't so much a topic but instead related to someones work and the effect it had.

We looked at McLuhan's law of media. It states every medium Extends, Reverses, Retrieves and Obsolesces.

One I remember is a Car. Extends - Speed. Reverses - Pollution. Retrieves - Age of Knights. Obsoleces - Horse.

My example would be a console. Although I'm not sure if it will be right.

Gaming Consoles: Extends - Entertainment, Vision. Reverses - Surroundings. Retrieves - Decisions - Focus. Obsolces - Board games.

I think that is correct.
