medium definitely part of message

In the beginning of "The Medium Is the Message," the author discusses the idea that every medium is the medium of something else. I thought this was an interesting view on the subject and agree with it, though it may not be true for everything.

Another idea I thought was intriguing and completely support is the idea that 'The products of modern science are not in themselves good or bad; it is the way they are used that determines their value.' This thought has been around and probably most famously used in the commonly heard statement of "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." It is a very important issue to remember that even with these constantly evolving technologies that any outcome of their use is still the sole responsibility of the humans using them.
