In today's day in age McLuhan's ideas are still very relevant. Technology still controls the human race even more so then it was in the past. Now one electronic can do what 8 different pieces of technology can do in on. Technology has become just another part of the person and when a person can not have there technology then they start to have anxiety that they are missing something important that is happening in their friends lives.
Another Meme that I found to be really accurate, in the past receiving paper mail was the norm and when someone would get an email on the Internet, it was so exciting because it was new and exciting. But in today's society companies are taking advantage of email because it is one of the most direct methods to send mail. However because of this technology writing letters has become an art and not many people know how to write and send a letter to communicate with one another. Today everything is becoming so instantaneous because of the Internet as well as texting.
