McCluhan’s Four Laws are not real laws, but lenses to help us think about possible effects of new technology. New tech: 1. Extends something human 2. Makes a previous tech into sport or art 3. Brings back a previous tech 4. Becomes its opposite when pushed https://t.co/7X72oYLY7u https://t.co/zHlSjHWryt
