Marshal MacLuhan

(following previous post)... As immigrants that we are in the age of the information we were born with just one hard disk in our brain: the analogical one. That's why we have had to make a hard drive partition to enable the second hard disk to fit: the digital one, that of the information age. Hereby we have two compartments monopolies in only one brain. Hereby we face the analogical world to the digital one, the online world to the offline, the tv to the internet, the mobile devices to the wired one, the wireless phones to the cellulars, the fax to the mail, the web to the advertising, the account executives to the creative people, the technology to the tradition, the technology to the traditional thing, the technology to our future. We constantly face these two worlds and therefore always we go out losing. The native people who were born in the society of the information do not differentiate the wireless phone from the mobile one because the two are just wireless, they do not face the technology to the future because it is their present. They do not take apart the online from the offline world since they know how to enjoy a multimedia environment.
The native people understand what Mcluhan already wrote around 70 years ago: the Medium is the Massage. We, the immigrants to the society of the information have had more than enough time to be aware of it, but ... we have tried to delay to the maximum the evidence, waiting to be able to come to the retirement without having to understand the changes happening.
