The Medium is the Message

This morning TJ passed on this excellent video produced by Michael Wesch, Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at K-State University. He teaches a Digital Ethnography class there, and has a few additional videos exploring this very interesting topic.

This video is called ‘The Machine is Us/ing Us‘.

And here’s an excellent response from CoryTheRaven on the ideas and message that Professor Wesch examines in his class.

I wish this class would have been offered at ISU.

UPDATE: John Battelle got a chance to interview Michael Wesch. It’s an excellent read if his video intrigued you. Check it.
