Discussion: Answer one in each of your three posts, at least 12 hours apart:

1). Have you made friendships that exist exclusively in cyberspace? If so, how are they different from f2f relationships? If you have no formed cyber relationships, why not?

2). Do you agree with Marshall McLuhan that the medium is the message, i.e., that the format or logic of a medium is as important as its content and, in fact, determines what content will be broadcast through the channel? Evaluate his idea that television is a cool medium.

3). Pick one concept from Chapter 8 that you found useful or interesting and discuss it.

***Remember to post 3 comments to your colleagues blogs this week. As a reminder, the comments must be about the discussion this week. Posting on a past discussion will NOT count for credit.
