Quick post
tonight, as tomorrow is a teaching day. Consequently, I
had to miss an event I wanted to attend: a book salon about the relevance of the work of Marshall
McLuhan in the age of social media, featuring media studies scholar Paul Levinson of Fordham University, writer and
educator Ira Nayman, and museum
planner Hugh Spencer.
But media never sleeps. Not nowadays. And through the
magic of the live tweeting of the event I was able to follow along at home. I now bring you some of the pithiest tweets of the evening,
for your media theory consideration.
Selfie sticks, overly Instagrammed food, streaming services -- How does the thinking of the man behind the medium is the message apply to these new forms and behaviours, if it in fact does?
Feel free to assemble your version of answers to these questions from the tweets below.

trade in #meaning.
They tell us what has #value,
or what's worth looking at. #curation
