McLuhan Post

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKKVQLDYYcw

Unlike the regular TV commercial, this one filmed someone who was actually not an actor as he went through what seemed to be a crazy night. As he is surprised throughout the process, running into numerous celebrities he finally gets to the grand finale. His excitement led to him taking out his phone and taking a video of everything happening around him.
This relates to McLuhan because it shows how due to technology we can barely live in the moment anymore. It seems as if we would prefer to see the world through our smartphones instead of our own eyes.
