chapter 11 - post 3

I do agree with McLuhan in that television is a cool medium. T.V. seems to provide enough of an image to paint a picture. Since television is not a direct interaction with the person, there are key things that are left out of the encounter. When people are face to face, there are qualities that are more noticable than if you were to watch them on T.V. This leaves room for personal interpretation. This is where things get tricky. Since everyone interprets things differntly, many different opinions can be formed. Logic plays a key role because if a person knows how to properly fill in those blanks to their advantage, then they can be viewed in a postive light. I never realized how tricky T.V. actually is!
