McLuhan Photoshop Final Post

For my medium, I chose facebook and showed it's evolution through all of it's stages starting out as a simple website and expanding to 500 million active users. It shows that the medium of simple htmls began a revolution of social networking. The instant emoticons and the image of a picture in an album on facebook demonstrates how facebook advanced. The image of facebook chat clearly depicts the fact that everyone needs to have instant communication with others almost 24/7. The image of aim on the side represents the concept in which facebook chat derived from. The child on the laptop shows the fact that younger generations are now adopting facebook when the website was originally intended for college students to connect with each other. Now, adults, teenagers, college students, and even middle school students have facebook accounts. And lastly, the file folder named "My Life" represents the fact that it appears to be that everyone's lives revolve around the concept of facebook and of the internet; the concept of being connected. McLuhan had it right, even though his work was published decades ago, mediums are extensions of ourselves and in today's society (even more so than ever) we truly live in a global village.
