Gramophone, Film, Typewriter

"Gramophone, Film, Typewriter" are essays by Marshall McLuhan that explore how different media technologies shape human perception and society. The gramophone revolutionized how we experience music by sharing recorded sound, transforming auditory culture. Film introduced moving images, influencing visual imagination and storytelling. The typewriter changed written communication, affecting cognition and the way information is processed. McLuhan examines how these devices serve as extensions of human senses and understanding, each ushering in new cultural patterns and social dynamics. Together, they illustrate the profound impact of technological media on shaping human experience and consciousness.
